Support Canaan Land Ranch and you could
  

It is a sad fact that children in our community are too often in the news because they have become victims of abuse, neglect, abandonment, or other terrible crimes. In 2007, in Bexar and surrounding counties there were 7,817 confirmed cases of child abuse and neglect.  Eighteen of those cases resulted in death.  People of good conscience want to know what will happen to these children and what they can do to help.

            New Beginnings Children’s Home at Canaan Land Ranch is a place of love, hope and restoration for abused and neglected children. Our mission is to protect children and restore them to their families whenever possible; however, we need your help.

            New Beginnings Children’s Home sits vacant. Not because there is no need for it, but because there are no funds to open it. You can help us open the Children’s Home by purchasing a raffle ticket for a trip to Israel. See frequently asked questions below for more information.

            New Beginnings Children’s Home at Canaan Land Ranch is located at 400 County Road 3821, San Antonio, TX 78253.  I invite you to take a no obligation tour of Canaan Land Ranch, a place of love, hope, and restoration by calling (210)679-4023 to schedule your tour. Groups tours are welcomed.
