About the Faith, Hope & Love kid's Ranch

     Faith, Hope & Love Kid's Ranch Inc. is a Christian Organization that believes in training children to have faith in the Word of God, with the hope of receiving new life in order to share the love they experienced. Also to enjoy a blessing and not a burden to society    

     The FHL Kid's Ranch was started by Celestino and Loraine Lamar in 2002. Built on 10 acres of a coconut plantation, with an old house on it on the West Coast of the Philippines. The Ranch is located 1 hour from Lucena.

THE "F" IS FOR FAITH - because without it, it is impossible to please God. Our relationship with God is our greatest priority. Our mission is to equip the children for service and growth toward spiritual maturity.

THE "H" IS FOR HOPE - because that is God's promise. Hope out of poverty, abuse, neglect and depression; Hope to find their purpose in life; to become a blessing and not a burden to society. The hope of being a part of a family that will love them for who they are.

THE "L" IS FOR LOVE - because it never fails and is the greatest of all; to share love with those who have never experienced it, and to grow up in a loving environment. Someday, they too, will be able to give to others also.

    Why a Kid's Ranch? In order to become successful at the three R's of Reading, Riting and Rithmetic, we must first teach the three R's of Respect, Responsibility and Resourcefulness

     Our goal os to use a portion of FHL, for the child care of orphans, abandoned, abused and neglected children; A portion for raising farm animals, veggie garden and fruit trees, and a portion for a camp which will be open to the public.
