Our Vision
Our vision is to build Home Lael in a debt free posture—7 homes for children, staff housing, guest cabins, family life center on a 257-acre campus—all to bring the message of healing to the lost in a Christ-centered community.
Our Counsel
Home Lael is governed by a Board of Directors and we are blessed to have the counsel and guidance of Chestnut Mountain Ranch located in West Virginia. This is an established home for children that has built a debt-free ministry.
Our Values
The Bible, prayer, family, the heart, equipping, service, Stewardship, and community comprise our core values. Read more.
