The Ranch Ministries


Ken Korkow was raised in a ranching and rodeo family and entered the Marine Corps when he was 18. He lived through the 77 day siege of Khe Sahn which was the longest and most deadly battle of the Vietnam war. When blown up two fellow Marines left him for dead in a bomb crater. Later, a doctor said “You may as well accept this, you’re never going to walk or use your hands again!” Ken married Liz while he was still in the military hospital and neither of them knew how much he had changed. After his medical discharge the Governor of his home state named a day in Ken‘s honor as the state’s most highly decorated Vietnam veteran. He was a ‘poster child’ for PTSD but you don’t know what you don’t know so he medicated his pain by being a workaholic. The honors, materialism and experiences were temporarily satisfying but nothing gave lasting peace or purpose. He’d walked away from religion but a businessman shared a different perspective and his life began to change. Now he and his wife freely share the lessons they have learned through The Ranch Ministries.
