Jeffrey Youngbluth

Jeffrey is a former special forces soldier who now works for Tango running the Tango Ranch. He regularly tangles with hunters and trespassers to keep the guests and the animals on the ranch safe from malicious intruders. Tango asks that all in it’s employ make an impact in life on those around them. Jeffrey is running for Mayor of the near by town of Estes Park. He is a deacon at the Christian Church of Estes Park. He and the church are characterized by a giving heart. They recently engaged in Kingdom Assignments.

Kingdom Assignment #1 involved 87 adult participants and many student participants. Each volunteered and was given $100 to be multiplied and then given away to bless the city of Estes Park. $8700 was multiplied into over $100,000. Some baked cookies, some make quilts, biscotti, wood cutting, moving service for families, etc. All of this was done right be for Christmas. This was a time when many people were hurting and many cries for help were heard and handled. Every day at least one church and usually several were mentioned in the local paper for blessing the city. One single mother with 6 kids and 7 jobs had her rent paid and received toys for her children. Others had medical bills paid for them so they could resume treatment and continuing help with that treatment.

Jeffrey used to be discouraged that his work at the ranch prevented him from traveling with his friends to do mission work. A good friend told him to be where he is and do ministry where his is. So Jeffrey partnered with Stout St. Foundation which helps addicts with recovery. He needed help at the ranch and began to employ and disciple many of the young men from the foundation. Most of the men chose to come to the foundation to avoid jail time. It has been challenging and rewarding for Jeffrey. It requires listening and compassion through the highs and lows of addiction recovery. But to date Jeffrey has baptized 11 people in the lake at the Tango Ranch.
