Father's Heart Ranch
Home
Father’s Heart Ranch is a group home for abused and neglected boys. Father’s Heart Ranch cares for children by providing a safe and stable home. Due to various abuses received, these children have been removed from their homes by Child Protective Services and placed with us. Each child’s circumstance is different. Some are waiting for a parent to complete court required programs before the child can return, other parents are incarcerated or plainly, nowhere to be found. Either way, our goal is to provide skills that each child can take with them on their journey through life. Through therapy, community involvements, spiritual development, exposure to new events and above all LOVE. We provide holistic development for our children and in this way we look forward to seeing that each child’s journey is a success.

The open embrace and caring heart of the Father is to accept without judgment or qualification damaged children whose conduct and behaviors, though distasteful and difficult, have been distorted by the abuse they have experienced. This kind of acceptance is key to our children knowing the unconditional love many of us have known and experienced of our heavenly Father. This acceptance is a powerful platform on which all future change will occur. At this point, it is important for all those involved to be committed to care. Being met with resistance, rejection and betrayal, these are many of the same things these children have experienced themselves. To maintain our purpose of seeing these children restored and revived we will need to see beyond their behaviors and into their need. Through experience, faith and daily renewal, this is possible. The environment of acceptance (reception) created is the key to their future progress. The second objective…

A severe injury curtailed an illustrious career as the American League Rookie of the Year and an American League All Star. He was one of the smallest players in major league baseball history. In 1979 Albie and his wife, Helen, founded United Ministries International. Through this mission, they have been involved in seeing schools, orphanages and churches established in the United States, Eastern Europe, Mexico and South America. In 1993, Albie and Helen, moved to the Coachella Valley. Their hearts’ desire to help hurting children was overwhelming. “There was no question in our minds that this burden was from the heart of the Heavenly Father. The reality of the need became so heavy that we had to find a place to provide a safe home for these children.” In 1997, Albie came across an 11-acre parcel of land that he knew he had to purchase. The Pearson’s sold their home and moved into the Ranch they had purchased for “their” children. The vision of the Father’s heart had begun. After many years of reconstruction and several children later, Father’s Heart Ranch is growing into the…
