Cheróne Faith Ranches

Object:    

To set up ranches for children and youths to age 22 that have been abused, abandoned, orphaned, or troubled to raise them in the admonition of the LORD.

Intention:

To have one or more ranch/s per state as the LORD opens the door, to help the youth and children of the United States to be raised knowing Jesus and being lead to Him with the care and understanding of the Christian community and make him/her become a productive, responsible adult with work ethics.

Article I:

Each Ranch is to be set up on land either donated, leased or purchased as the LORD wills, with a house or houses, a barn, outbuildings, garden, flower beds, and animals to meet the needs of the inhabitants.

Article II:

The children/youths in CFR care will be raised in as close to a real home environment as is possible. House parents will be selected based on their ability to provide a loving, caring, atmosphere with discipline as needed.

Article III:

CFR will provide all the essential needs for the children including, but not limited to: clothing, food, shelter, education, love, discipline, religious instruction and devotions.

Article IV:

As a Ranch, we intend to have animals such as horses, cows, sheep, pigs, dogs, cats or other such as the children need for training or pets. If they want to have a 4-H project or county fair animal, this will be encouraged.

The reason for the animals is two fold: one) because many of these children will respond to an animal when human love fails and two) for food and training purposes.

Article V:

A large garden to include various vegetables, fruits (if applicable), and other food needs will be a part of each ranch so that the children will have plenty of fresh fruits and/or vegetables and for training purposes.

Article VI:

Depending on the size of each home, there will be 5-8 children residing with each couple that are the house parents. They will have chores just as if they were living with their own parents, and will be responsible to do their homework from school, and any other duties as assigned.

Article VII:

Whenever possible, children from one family that comes to us will be placed in one home together. These children do not need to have the added burden of being split up and shipped off to different homes and locations. They need the security of being together, raised together, and feeling loved in a home environment.

Article VIII:

A Christian school and a Chapel will be included as a part of the overall goal of meeting both physical and spiritual needs of these children and youths.

Article IX:

A clinic may be established on each sight for the medical well being of all participants, whether adult, youth or child.

Article X:

A bond between the child and his/her birth parents (if still living) with the ultimate goal of getting them reunited in their own home is necessary to the well being of the child and their parent/s.

Article XI:

If all rights have been terminated or the parents are no longer living, then bonding with the house parents is paramount. Bonding with the house parents is very important even if the child/ren are to be returned to the natural parents at some distant future. Love and care is our by-word.

Article XII:

If a child is to be placed for adoption, CFR will help to find Christian adults who would be capable of providing a loving home and bonding with the right child or children. If brother and sisters are in our care, we will endeavor to have them placed in the same home with loving parents.

Always our goal is to make sure the children are taken care of in the most approved, Christian manner and that their needs are met to the utmost. Providing not only a home with caring, loving house parents, but also work ethics, chores, and also the knowledge of Jesus Christ in their lives daily. Christian schooling to meet their educational needs, including music, sports, art, writing, along with a full schedule of class work and a Chapel for the spiritual needs are also necessary. Animals are to be used for instruction, training, food (if applicable), and also to teach the children how to love or to reach (at times) the children with love. There will be children/youths that come to us that have never known any kind of love or even a home life or what caring is all about. We want to give them the utmost instruction on how to live in peace with fellow house mates in a family environment, and to come to know the LORD Jesus Christ.
