Orphanage/Children's Home
Ranch on Jesus
maintains a Home as a familial haven for the most desperate and vulnerable of
children. The children who reside at the Orphanage Home enjoy a safe,
supportive environment which strives to meet their daily needs and train them
up according to God’s Word. The Orphanage Home compound contains
boys and girls dormitories, a library, dining hall, kitchen and playground.
Solar power lights the compound and sanitary water is regularly trucked
in to fill the large water tank.
Agricultural Programs
Uganda is a
tremendously fertile nation with two growing seasons per calendar year.
In order to reduce the cost of food expenses as well as teach the children the
value of working the ground, Ranch on Jesus maintains 3 acres of farmland.
Past crops have included maize, casava, tomatos, beans and sweet
potatos. Any surpluss produce which cannot be consumed by
the children is sold at market. The ministry hopes to expand its
agricultural efforts in the future.

School/Education
Even a basic education is unatainable for many Ugandan children
whose families cannot afford the fees for tuition, uniforms and supplies.
The
Ranch on Jesus Primary School in Lweza exists to provide an excellent education
to elementary aged children in the surrounding communities. Roughly five
hundred children are enrolled as students with a teaching staff
of......... Children who are not able to afford their school fees are granted
partial or full scholarships through the ministry based on their level of
need. The Ranch on Jesus Primary School operates as a self sustaining
institution. In time, the school hopes to become successful enough
to supply funding to the operations of the Orphanage Home.
Unfortunately
the majority of children who attend primary school rarely advance to secondary
school (high school). This is most often due to a lack of financial
resources. Through a scholarship program, Ranch on Jesus is providing
qualified students with the opportunity to receive a secondary education at
neighboring schools. In time the ministry hopes to establish a secondary
school in order to extend the opportunity of education to even more children.

Gospel Programs
We seek to share the message of Jesus Christ with the
people of Uganda.
Ranch
on Jesus does this specifically through a ministry of travelling Children's
Crusades. Children's Crusades are typically weeklong events of
concentrated preaching, praising, and creatively sharing the Gospel in a public
place. Though the message is available to all, speaking to children is a
significant focus. The children of Ranch on Jesus assist in
ministering to other children in these communities by actively participating in
crusade events such as song and dance.
The
Lord has turned many hearts to Him through the Crusade ministry. At the
close of these special events, Ranch on Jesus connects new converts to local
pastors and churches in the community.
Vocational Programs
The majority of Ugandan youth will never receive a college
education. It is crucial to equip them with a marketable skill so that
they can be successfully employed adults who contribute to their
communities. The ministry works to wisely match our children with
vocational programs most suitable to their unique gifts and
interests.
Vocational
training is currently being provided to several children in a variety of
fields including computers, mechanics, tailoring and cosmetology.
