Our Mission

A Vision Being Built — For His Glory

Living Waters Restoration Ranch is a faith-based nonprofit being founded to serve single women — with or without children — who are ready to rebuild their lives after homelessness, drug addiction, and physical abuse. We are currently raising funds to purchase our ranch property and are submitting our 501(c)(3) application in 2026.

At the center of everything we are building is a personal, transforming relationship with Jesus Christ. We believe true healing begins when a woman encounters the love of Jesus — not religion, but relationship. Our planned 6-month program will walk women through deep inner healing, helping them confront past wounds, break generational cycles, and discover the identity God always intended for them.

Our vision: women growing in their walk with Jesus, working with horses, tending gardens, and learning life skills — supported every step by a community that believes in their God-given future. Help us make this vision a reality.

The Heart of Our Program

Deep Healing Through a Relationship with Jesus

We don't offer surface-level coping strategies. We go deep — into the root wounds that drove the pain — and we bring Jesus right into the middle of it.

✝️

Knowing Jesus Personally

Many women have heard of Jesus but never experienced Him as a loving Father, a healer, and a friend. Our program begins here — an invitation into real, personal relationship with Him. Not rules. Not religion. Relationship.

💔

Healing the Wounds of the Past

Childhood trauma, abuse, abandonment, shame — these wounds don't heal on their own. Through guided scripture, prayer ministry, and inner healing sessions, women invite Jesus into every painful memory and experience His redemptive presence there.

🔗

Breaking Generational Cycles

Many of the patterns in our lives were passed down — poverty, addiction, abuse, fear. Through the power of the cross, we walk women through identifying and breaking these cycles so they are not carried forward to the next generation.

👑

Discovering God-Given Identity

Trauma tells women who they are — worthless, broken, unlovable. Scripture tells a completely different story. We help women exchange the lies they've believed for the truth of who God says they are: daughters of the King, loved, chosen, and made new.

🕊️

Forgiveness & Freedom

Unforgiveness is a prison. Through the teaching of Jesus and Spirit-led healing sessions, women are guided through the process of forgiving those who have hurt them — not to excuse the abuse, but to walk free from its power over their lives.

🌊

Walking in a New Life

The goal of deep healing is not just feeling better — it is a completely transformed life. Women leave Living Waters Restoration Ranch not just recovered, but renewed: walking in their calling, rooted in God's Word, and equipped to build a lasting future.

"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!"

— 2 Corinthians 5:17

The Healing Journey

Our 6-Month Step Program

Each phase of the program builds on the last — moving women from crisis and pain toward wholeness, purpose, and lasting freedom through Jesus Christ.

Month 1
🌊

Welcome & Stabilization

Safe arrival. Women settle into the ranch, establish daily rhythms, receive medical and counseling assessments, and begin building trust with staff and fellow residents. This month is about feeling safe — many for the first time in years. Introduction to Jesus as a loving, non-condemning Father begins here through daily devotionals and one-on-one care.

Focus: Safety · Rest · Basic needs · First steps of faith
Month 2
💔

Facing the Past — Deep Inner Healing

The courage to go deep. Guided by trained staff and prayer ministers, women begin confronting their past — childhood trauma, abuse, abandonment, shame, and addiction's root causes. Through inner healing prayer, scripture, and small group sharing, Jesus is invited into every wound. This is often the hardest — and most transformative — month.

Focus: Trauma healing · Inner healing prayer · Identifying root wounds · Forgiveness
Month 3
🔗

Breaking Chains — Identity & Freedom

Out of the old, into the new. Women work through breaking generational patterns, unhealthy soul ties, and false identities rooted in past pain. Intensive Bible study on who God says they are replaces the lies trauma planted. Worship, deliverance prayer, and accountability partnerships deepen the work begun in Month 2.

Focus: Identity in Christ · Generational healing · Breaking cycles · Worship
Month 4
🌱

Growing Strong — Life Skills & Purpose

Building a new life from the inside out. Women engage fully in cooking, sewing, gardening, financial literacy, and survivor training. Career aptitude assessments begin. Job readiness coaching, résumé building, and interview preparation launch this month. Children's programming deepens for mothers in the program.

Focus: Life skills · Financial literacy · Career preparation · Motherhood support
Month 5
💼

Stepping Out — Job Placement & Independence

Ready for the real world. Women begin job placement with our employer partners, participate in community service, and practice independent living skills. Ongoing coaching and accountability ensure a soft landing. Continued equine therapy, worship, and Bible study keep the spiritual foundation strong as practical life expands.

Focus: Job placement · Employer partnerships · Community reintegration · Accountability
Month 6
🏡

Launching Forward — A Future & a Hope

Prepared, rooted, and ready. The final month celebrates how far each woman has come and prepares her for life after the ranch. Transition planning, ongoing support connections, and mentorship matching ensure she doesn't leave alone. Women who maintain stable employment for 2 years after graduation receive personalized home-buying guidance and support through our Path to Home Ownership program.

Focus: Transition planning · Mentorship · Home-buying pathway · Graduation & celebration

Teresa Corpus, Founder of Living Waters Restoration Ranch
Meet the Founder

Teresa Corpus

Founder & Executive Director, Living Waters Restoration Ranch

Teresa Corpus is the heart and hands behind Living Waters Restoration Ranch. For more than three decades, she has walked alongside women as a mentor, intercessor, and spiritual guide — investing in women's ministry, youth ministry, and prayer since the 1990s and pouring her life into helping women discover who they truly are in Christ. Her vision for ministry has always been carried out through two simple things: her words and her care — speaking life and truth over women while walking beside them with genuine, hands-on compassion.

Teresa's journey in women's ministry began long before this ranch was ever a vision. She has served in intercession, led women's Bible studies, mentored women through their deepest wounds and greatest breakthroughs, and poured into the next generation through youth ministry — walking with them step by step in their relationship with God. That decades-long calling is what gave birth to Living Waters Restoration Ranch: a place where spiritual restoration is not just offered, but expected.

The vision for a women's restoration shelter took root in Teresa's heart back in her 20s, long before she had the resources, the land, or even the language to describe what God was placing on her heart. What began as a quiet conviction has grown, through decades of ministry, mentorship, and prayer, into Living Waters Restoration Ranch.

Teresa believes that real healing goes deeper than sobriety or stability. It reaches into a woman's identity, her story, her worth — and it is found in an intimate walk with Jesus. Everything at the ranch flows from that conviction.

"I've walked with women for over 30 years, and I've never met one who was too broken for God to restore. That's the vision behind this ranch — and why I'm believing God for every woman who will one day walk through these gates."

Outside of ministry, Teresa is a devoted mother and gigi (grandmother) who treasures family above all else. She is also an entrepreneur — a calling she brings full circle through the ranch's Path to Home Ownership program, helping women build not just new lives, but lasting foundations.
