What’s New

It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of our Board Chair, John Sauer. After a courageous battle with cancer, John has gone home to be with the Lord.

John was more than a leader—he was the heartbeat of our ministry. He believed deeply in the vision of Agape and faithfully guided us through seasons of growth with grace and wisdom, ensuring that Agape was built on a strong and lasting foundation. Time and again, he pointed us back to our mission: to be a place of hope and healing for children through land, animals, and people. Though he has finished his race here on earth, the legacy of his leadership will continue to echo in every hoofbeat and in every life transformed at Agape Ranch. We are forever grateful for the time we had with him. Please keep John’s family and our ministry team in your prayers during this difficult time.

Until we meet again at the end of the trail, enjoy riding in greener pastures. ✨🕊️🐴

“He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” —Revelation 21:4 (NIV)
