Rancho Genesis

Rancho Genesis Camps are like no other camp in the entire world! (that we are aware of anyway). Ours will pair you up one on one with an “orphan” in offering Healing experiences and Hope!!

Why do we exist?  A silent war that never ends!  A war whose tragic results we see at Rancho Genesis. This war is waged behind the closed doors of homes where parents beat, sexually abuse, abandon, not protect and neglect their innocent children.

At Genesis, we have seen terrible scars on little bodies.

We have witnessed in now rescued children’s’ eyes the fear that still causes them to tremble and the anger that causes them to strike out.

We understand why they have suppressed/ignored the prior abuse and trauma, so they can survive another day… hidden behind their smile and laughter.  Yet suppressed wounds and pain keep children trapped inside themselves and crush their spirits, making a healthy life truly impossible.

The second big battle after rescue is freedom in Healing… from their internal open wounds, pain, and trauma.

To do this, we ask God for wisdom in our words, patience in our love, and a passion that endures for our Rancho Genesis staff and for those, like you, who wish to serve alongside us in Jesus’s name… Together we can offer help to these precious fragile butterflies in their Healing process.

A verse from the Living Holy Word of God that motivates us and we hope will resonate with you:

 “Learn to do good; seek justice, correct oppression; bring justice to the fatherless, and please the widow’s cause,” (Isaiah 1:17).

Rancho Genesis Camps are a safe place for the “orphans”’ to experience beautiful things emotionally, physically, and spiritually through “Amigos” (Mission Team members) and Staff being the Arms of Love for Christ. The children are shown Christ’s deep, unconditional love for them by the actions of our staff and the amigos. They participate in devotionals, fun VBS activities, enjoy great food, they make warm memories, and hear gentle words of affirmations that help them heal by softening bad memories of abuse with new loving great memories!

Rancho Genesis is designed to be a part of the community of Jesus believers that He has gathered around them, in helping orphans through the emotional healing process from their abuse or abandonment. We pray that the experience at Rancho Genesis will plant seeds and a desire for them to receive Him into their hearts and come to know, worship, and follow Jesus… As He is the greatest Healer!

On a Mission trip with Genesis, you experience a wide range of activities with the children during their one week stay at Rancho Genesis. All of the activities are designed to support a child’s growth and healing.  The children are able to laugh, create, love, play, and learn in a safe area. Many of these children have missed out on some of the wonders that come with childhood. Rancho Genesis is a place to make some of those great childhood memories, replacing the unspeakable ones. As many of the orphanages where the children come from are in the city with little room to roam, we have elected to have the camps in a rural area where the niños can be surrounded by God’s great and vast creation which is Healing in of itself.  During each week of camp, we also take the children on a beach day adventure where they have the opportunity to see more of the great world of God’s awesome creation!
