Vision Statement

Agape Ranch provides high quality foster care in south Texas by supporting foster and adoptive families.

Mission Statement

Our community is a sanctuary where foster children will experience the love of Jesus Christ.

The Need

More than 60% of the children in our community are being placed outside of our county due to the lack of foster homes in our area. This results in many children being separated from their siblings and the only community that they know. More than 90% of young adults aging-out of the foster care system will become homeless, incarcerated, in prostitution, sex trafficked, or dead within three years.

Our Response

Agape Ranch will establish a safe environment of 19 homes where foster children can receive the support they need. Upon completion, our self-sustaining community will care for up to 72 foster children and young adults at a time. The Return to Agape program will provide housing and mentorship for young adults during their college or trade school career. We can leave a different legacy for the foster children in our community.
