Fun fact, did you know Matt the certified an equine, assisted therapy and learning. A corral is the safest and best environment for that connection to be made with horses & children. Benefits of Equine Learning & Therapy- Increased trust. Reduced anxiety. Less feeling of depression and isolation. Increased self-esteem, self-acceptance, and social skills.Better impulse control. Increased problem-solving skills.Improved communication skills, including non-verbal. We have so many stories of bonds between children & horses at Hope Ranch that the Lord has formed by His grace. God has provided for the steel poles and as soon as we have provision, the trusses will go up in the spring. It’s going to be a great addition to expand the days we can serve at Hope Ranch! Glory to God! 🐴❤️
1 min update on Christmas gift preparations underway for 1,500 children surrounding the Hope Ranch project in Colombia! ❤️🙏🏽🎁🎄THANK YOU SO MUCH to all that give to make this possible.
The need is tremendous but are following God’s promptings with preventative outreach that will be ongoing. After our delivery of Christmas boxes to the 1,500 children that we have built relationships with, Hope Ranch supported teachers from the project that love Jesus & are so amazing with children will continue to go M-F into these eight regions with a meal and work with children on their academics so they do not fall behind and drop out of school which makes them so susceptible to abuse, child labor, trafficking etc. Rather then just rescue after it happens we want to be proactive & help them. We are so excited to bless these children this Christmas! These little ones endure too much and these gifts are going to be so special for the staff & project children to deliver along with doing skits that shares the story of Jesus‘s birth & the Hope we have through Christ.
The gifts include:
Pajamas, underwear, socks, washcloth, soap, shirt, devotional book, pants, small toy and a treat.
Thank you to all that so lovingly and generously give to Hope Ranch. May the Lord bless you over & over as together we see His goodness abound and multiply the work that is happening. We love and appreciate you.
Quick 1 min update & Happy Labor Day from Hope Ranch.
Good morning! A happy way to start the day seeing blessings of love & care for one another in COLOMBIA! 🇨🇴 The staff & volunteers at the project have taken four days to do what they call a humanitarian aid brigade! They have gathered more volunteers from other parts of Colombia to come and serve as an outreach to one of the poorest communities in the region where many of the children at the local Hope Ranch ministry are from. They are doing medical, dental, haircuts, manicures, pedicures, providing a meal and sharing the love of Christ! 🙏🏽❤️
Today’s morning opening at the Hope Ranch school in Awassa.
Today the children at the Hope Ranch school in Awassa are taking their midterm exams! They are thriving & making great progress!!!

God made a way!!!!!
It HAPPENED! God has answered so many prayers! Land has been donated & funds given to build a home for the children that are currently in a rented urban safe house compound. They will now have their own HOME with beautiful LAND and a pond! They will have space to run, explore, play, garden and do aquaponics. Will you join us in praying for these beloved children & this building project? We hope to break ground very soon! God has made a way! Thank you to all that give and make this possible! To God be the GLORY!

Honestly I struggled to put into words all the love that is multiplied through your gifts. Thank you with our whole hearts on behalf of Hope Ranch International.
A joyful greeting from the Colmbia project
Thank you to all of the Hope Ranch family that so generously gives to provide for these children at the safe house in Colombia. Here is a joyful video we just received. 
She introduced several of the Children, plus a few of the volunteers. Then 38 seconds into the video you meet the Mom of 2 students, she was profusely thanking those who provide for their Ministry through Hope Ranch International. LOTS of happy faces accentuating the many heartfelt “Thank you’s” The joy here is abundant & evident!!!
