About “Moore Time Ranch”

Years ago back in 2014, I was blessed with the opportunity to Mentor 16, 17 and 18 year old boys in a local church. And as the saying goes, boys will be boys. But not all of these boys, more than a dozen of them, had normal lives, perfect situations, the ultimate parents, and the perfect home atmosphere. Some had struggles with acceptance in society; loss of a parent; single parent homes; and some surprisingly with great parents, but lost their way. During the next two years of my life, myself and my best friend Jeremy spent time mentoring, tutoring, befriending, and buying into these young men's lives. We soon found out we were the ones truly being blessed by the opportunity to share Christ with them. Sometimes the issues were minor, you know things not going perfectly at home or in school. But some struggles went much deeper, as deep as you can imagine. Sometimes struggles would escalate to the point of wondering whether or not being alive was the best idea or not. Having 5 kids of my own, and a few teenagers, I dealt with struggles of my own. But all in all I've been very blessed with the children we have, and I've learned from every one of them, but this was different. These were God's children, not just my children. I had not raised them in their younger years, did not know much about them, but felt called by God to pour into their lives and share the love of Christ with them. I had no clue how they would respond, accept or receive his love. It was a learning experience for all of us, Jeremy, myself and the young men we mentored. Each week as we prepared to spend time with them, pray with them, and try to counsel and guide them, we grew closer to God, closer to them, and knew our purpose was to impact Christ Kingdom, one young man at a time. Since then, many of the young men have done very well for themselves, but three in particular come to mind. Three that had different struggles, from different backgrounds, but one common core. They now understood and knew the love of Christ, and hopefully had learned that by Christ working through simple-minded men like Jeremy and I, to have an impact in their lives forever. Later I hope you'll go see some of their testimonies on this site, and how their lives have been changed by simple Men, simply loving them, and showing Christ love. Having been heavily involved in other areas of the church after a few years, I decided to move on to a few different ministries like security, leading couples life groups, a finance committee and more. But it somehow seemed to constantly lack the joy of hoping we had an impact in some of these young men's lives. The proof of God's miracles, was when these young men continued to follow up with us long after we stopped counseling in the church. They wanted us to be involved in their lives, and wanted us to continue to be friends with them. The Gap became so huge in my heart, that one day last September in 2017, I felt Christ tug on my heart once again, more than ever before. It was a clear-cut vision of what my legacy was supposed to be. Other than trying to be a great husband, awesome father, and spiritual leader of my own personal family, He was calling me back into a different type of ministry, the ministry of leading young men. So moving forward, we are excited to be taking groups of young men in the future through our program. Our mission, vision, and Creed are posted on this website for your viewing. But the beginning of the journey is taking these children from being young teens, on a path to manhood, through Christ Jesus their savior. The call to lead them, was so strong, that after chatting with my wife one day, I took a leap of faith and purchased some property. The property we acquired grew from 43 acres to 70 acres in a matter of months. Each time taking a huge leap of faith when we should never have been approved for the loan, and knowing God's hand was involved to make that happen. Finally God put in my heart, that we were to mentor to these young men at a ranch called "The Moore Time Ranch." And a program design for "Teaching Troubled Teens". I sincerely hope and pray you'll consider praying for these young men, the staff, the mentors, and everyone involved to help us to change the Youth of America, one young man at a time. Any prayers and donations would be greatly appreciated to benefit our program and the youth of America and more importantly, our local communities today. Please stay tuned for what God has in store for these young men moving forward, and I praise God daily for allowing me to be any small part of helping these young men to join Christ Kingdom, or reinvigorate a walk they once had. Isaiah 40:30-31 ESV / 33 says: Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted; but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.
