Our Purpose
[/custom_headline][text_output]
I grew up in a small farming community in the heart of the rural south. My father would often disappear for days or weeks at a time. Then one day, he left and never returned. For years as a child, I was the victim of sexual abuse at the hands of an extended family member. As a teenager, I became an alcoholic to escape the pain. Abuse, abandonment and addiction defined my life. Then in my late teen years I gave my life to Jesus. His love and healing transformed me. Out of the pain of my past God has given me a heart to minister to forgotten people in forgotten places. I’ve always taught when your past, your pain and your passion overlap, you find the sweet spot of your purpose in life. Our purpose is to minister to the overlooked, the less fortunate, the underdog.
Lonesome Dove Ranch fulfills that purpose. It is a place that brings hope and healing to the hurting. My wife, Haley, and I have committed our lives and finances to this endeavor, but we need your help. Thanks to a generous outpouring of God and His people we have acquired a property that seems tailor-made for our life’s purpose. Will you partner with us as we continue to invest in the hurting and under-served through Lonesome Dove Ranch?

Haley and I need partners like you to continue serving the under-served. We are asking God to bring visionary people into our lives who will help us underwrite the ongoing ministries of the ranch.
Gifts of any size make a difference in the lives we serve. Please join us in providing a place of healing and hope for the broken and battered of this world.

He is an author and international conference speaker who travels extensively in global missions and compassion work. However, Bryan defines his success in a very simple way: walking with God, regardless of where it takes him. In 1993, he married his church camp sweetheart, Haley, and they have been partners in life and ministry ever since. They currently live in the North Dallas area with their three children.
