Eagle Ranch remains
the largest long-term
residential facility
in the state.
Eagle Ranch is privately
funded, with more than
half of our funding
coming from individuals.
There is no stronger
testimony to the valuethat our community sees
in ensuring children

Fromumble Beginnings
I came from a very stable, secure home. I cameto realize it was only through the grace of God
that I had what I had. That was the impetus
for me to leave Alabama in 1982 and come
to Georgia to start a home for children who
needed a second chance in life.

Why Do Children Come to Eagle Ranch?
Children come to Eagle Ranch when circumstances
make living at home difficult or impossible.
Sometimes this is due to changes in family structure
or custody, poor school performance, behavioral
issues, judicial requirements or other factors that
affect the child and his or her family. The goal is to
identify and work on the sources of crisis, helping
the child heal and return to a restored family.

A ereshing ApproachThe evidence of Eagle Ranchs success is on the faces of the
boys and girls! The people and the surroundings of Eagle
Ranch are refreshing and inspiring. The leadership and
staff demonstrate a strong commitment to quality care
that is individualized for each child and family.
Terence JohnsonDirector of the Office of Provider
Utilization and Outcome Management,
Georgia Department of Family and Childrens Services
During their season at Eagle
Ranch, children are provided
a home, education and
counseling. Boys and girls
receive help in every area of
their lives spiritual,
emotional, intellectual,
social and physical.
Eagle Ranch partners withthe entire family through
counseling and instruction
so that children are able
to return to an improved
home environment.
Theres a saying, Children are the messages
we send to a time that well never see, and thats
the essence of Eagle Ranch. When we affect one
childs life, there is a generational impact. Not only
will that child never be the same, but neither will
his or her family.

Eagle Ranch provided the environment necessary for
light and water to enter my mind and allow my
talent to sprout and blossom. I thank God for the
Eagle Ranch ministry and what it has done in my life.
JamesEagle Ranch Graduate
I have never forgotten what I learned at Eagle Ranch.
The traits instilled are ones decent people should hold
dear: faith, humility, generosity, hard work, strong
moral judgment.
EliottEagle Ranch Graduate
My housemom, Mrs. Kelly, has helped me through so
many things. She is so easy to talk to. She is so sincere.
She is a great example to me, and I would love to be like
her one day.
JordanEagle Ranch Graduate
Until I came to Eagle Ranch, I was not ready to open
up. I thought if I didnt say anything, eventually the
feeling would go away. But those feelings dont go away
unless you work through them. I have come a long way.
I have gotten closer to my family. I actually feel that
they love me, theyre here for me, and they have my back
through everything. I thank God for sending me here.
LashawnaEagle Ranch Graduate
This unique place serves as a beacon of hope and
inspiration. Eagle Ranch rebuilds lives and restores
families. This success story is synonymous with the
word perseverance.
Mike SmithHead Coach, Atlanta Falcons
This ministry is more than about loving these
children. Its a place where grace abounds.
And its by grace that lives are transformed.

and there was something about his personality, and there
was something about the electricity that came from this
