OPPORTUNITY FOR FIRST HOME SPONSOR! SECOND HOME ALREADY PLEDGED!

LEARN MORE

Welcome to Big Cedar Ranch!

After four years of prayer, searching, and unwavering faith, Big Cedar Ranch is finally coming to fruition. What was once a dream is now becoming a Christ-centered refuge—a place where girls rescued from the darkness of trafficking can step into the light of healing, hope, and restoration. 


Here, in a family-style home filled with love and the truth of God’s Word, these precious daughters will find safety, belonging, and a future filled with promise. Our mission is simple yet profound: to be the hands and feet of Jesus, providing not just a home, but a family. Big Cedar Ranch stands as a testimony to God’s faithfulness, and we cannot wait to see the transformation He will bring in the lives of these young girls.

God Provided the Perfect Location!

After years of searching, we found the exact place Jesus had prepared—a breathtaking 84-acre estate in Middle Tennessee.

  • Move-in ready healing home: 6 bedrooms, 5 baths.
  • Additional home for a future ranch director.
  • One of Tennessee’s largest private equine therapy arenas with 16 stalls and a built-in apartment.

The Ranch is Under Contract — Now We Need You!

To open our doors and welcome the first rescued girl, we must overcome a few hurdles:

  1. Home Sponsorship: Each healing home is sponsored by a family as a legacy of hope. One home is already pledged at $650,000, but we need another sponsor this year to secure the property.
  2. Annual Home Operations: Each home costs $250,000 per year ($21,000/mo) to provide full care for these girls.
  3. Child Healing & Care:  $25,000 per year ($2,100/month) covers the cost of raising one of our children for one full year and ensures that our children have the essentials they need.  
  4. Community Partnerships: Individuals, businesses, and organizations can support various construction, operations, and special projects.

Solutions that Provide True Healing

Through God’s provision, we have partnered with Big Oak Ranch in Alabama, a Christ-centered organization with 50 years of experience in restoring children’s lives. Their expertise is guiding us in establishing best practices as we develop Tennessee’s first healing ranch exclusively for girls recovering from child sex trafficking.

This ranch will provide:

  • Christ-centered, trauma-informed homes for girls recovering from trafficking.
  • On-site therapeutic services covering spiritual, medical, psychological and educational needs.
  • Christian houseparents for family-style healing (4-5 girls per home).
  • Facilities including a welcome center, chapel, school, store, medical center, recreation areas, arts therapy, equine therapy, and more.
