Our Last Days

New Arrivals 

We recently received two new little ones to our care! They quickly adjusted here and even participated in our school program!

It's Not Goodbye Forever...
The Little Ranch with Hope will forever be etched in my heart with its precious children and staff! Thank you for praying me through my three years of teaching there. I have now begun a new chapter of life in the States, but am excited to see how God will continue to move and work in this ministry. I am looking forward to visiting again soon!
