It’s like tossing a life saver to someone who’s
drowning. Our passion is to enter the abandoned areas of the
cities and shine a ray of hope into the lives of children,
living alone and desolate on the street. Making an effort
to go to them, to meet them right where they’re at,
dirty, hungry, even drugged is essential in communicating
that we love them as they are and allows us to establish trust
and relationship with the kids right from the start.
Twice a week groups of national volunteers, who have been
trained and prepared, head out in the early mornings or late
evenings to spend time with the boys. They develop healthy
relationships with them, listening to, caring for and helping
them in their situations. We provide them with a hot meal
and clothing for those who need it. Now who can relate to
these boys better than someone who’s been where they
are? That’s why some of the older boys from our Lighthouse
Ranch will join the team, giving the street kids actual hope,
“in the flesh,” by seeing and hearing from others
who have been rescued from the same situation and who are
now living a healthy and happy life. It’s during these
contacts that we can offer a solution to the boys from their
loneliness and despair to come to the Lighthouse Ranch.
