Desperate for Love: The True Story of the Faith, Hope, and Love Kids Ranch

There is a global epidemic of children who have been abandoned, abused, and neglected. When there is no one to care what happens to them, these children usually end up on the streets. All it takes is one person whose heart is totally submitted to serving God to influence the lives of unwanted children, a surrounding neighborhood, and even a nation. Only God’s love can make such a radical change in one heart and ultimately transform the lives of so many others.

As a young teenager, Lorraine Lamar cried out to God and sought Him with all her heart; what began as a cry for help turned into a lifelong ministry. When Lorraine responded to God’s call, He rewarded her with her ultimate dream: to serve in ministry rescuing Filipino children. She and her husband, Celing, and their three children now minister to abandoned, abused, neglected, and orphaned Filipino children at their Faith, Hope, and Love Kids’ Ranch in the Philippines. The kids’ ranch has become a symbol of unconditional love and a model for Christian orphanages everywhere. Their lives have become perfect examples of lifestyle evangelism in Christian service, as they love, train, and care for unwanted Filipino children, challenging the kids and visitors alike to be a blessing, rather than a burden, to society.
