Our Mission

A Vision Being Built โ€” For His Glory

A Christian residential ministry helping women rebuild their lives following addiction and other hardships. It combines Bible-based mentorship, accountability, and life-skills development.

Living Waters Restoration Ranch is a faith-based nonprofit serving women who are ready to rebuild their lives after addiction. We are currently raising funds to purchase our ranch property and became an approved 501(c)(3) nonprofit in 2026.

At the center of everything we are building is a personal, transforming relationship with Jesus Christ. We believe true restoration begins when a woman encounters the love of Jesus โ€” not religion, but relationship. Our planned 6-month program will walk women through discipleship, prayer, and Bible study, helping them bring their past to Jesus, break generational cycles, and discover the identity God always intended for them.

Our Vision

Our vision is to establish a peaceful ranch where women can step away from destructive environments, encounter the love of Jesus Christ, discover their God-given gifts, and gain the tools necessary to build stable, independent, and purpose-filled lives.

We believe restoration goes beyond providing shelter. It means equipping women with the spiritual foundation, confidence, practical skills, and community support they need to begin again.

Our goal is not simply to provide a place to stay, but a place where lives are restored and futures are rebuilt.

The Heart of Our Program

Restoration Through a Relationship with Jesus

We are a ministry, not a clinical program. We walk with women in prayer, scripture, and community โ€” and we bring Jesus right into the middle of their story.

โœ๏ธ

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 โ€” an invitation into real, personal relationship with Him. Not rules. Not religion. Relationship.

๐Ÿ’”

Bringing the Past to Jesus

Pain, shame, and loss don't disappear on their own. Through scripture, prayer, and discipleship with mentors, women invite Jesus into their story and experience His grace and redemptive presence there.

๐Ÿ”—

Breaking Generational Cycles

Many of the patterns in our lives were passed down โ€” 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.

๐Ÿ‘‘

Discovering God-Given Identity

Addiction and pain tell women who they are โ€” 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.

๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ

Forgiveness & Freedom

Unforgiveness is a prison. Through the teaching of Jesus, prayer, and discipleship, women are guided toward forgiving those who have hurt them โ€” not to excuse the hurt, but to walk free from its power over their lives.

๐ŸŒŠ

Walking in a New Life

The goal of restoration is not just feeling better โ€” 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!"

โ€” 2 Corinthians 5:17

The Restoration Journey

Our 6-Month Step Program

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

Month 1
๐ŸŒŠ

Welcome & Stabilization

Safe arrival. Women settle into the ranch, establish daily rhythms, and begin building trust with staff and fellow residents. This month is about feeling safe โ€” many for the first time in years.

๐Ÿ’”

Facing the Past โ€” Bringing It to Jesus

The courage to go deep. Guided by mentors and prayer ministers, women begin facing their past honestly โ€” shame, loss, and the story behind their addiction. Through prayer, scripture, and small group sharing, Jesus is invited into every hard place. This is often the hardest โ€” and most transformative โ€” month.

Focus: Prayer ยท Scripture ยท Honest sharing ยท Forgiveness
Month 3
๐Ÿ”—

Breaking Chains โ€” Identity & Freedom

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

Focus: Identity in Christ ยท Generational freedom ยท Breaking cycles ยท Worship
Month 4
๐ŸŒฑ

Growing Strong โ€” 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, rรฉsumรฉ building, and interview preparation launch this month.

Focus: Job placement ยท Employer partnerships ยท Community reintegration ยท Accountability
Month 6
๐Ÿก

Launching Forward โ€” 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.

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 โ€” 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 โ€” 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 โ€” 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 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 restoration goes deeper than sobriety or stability. It reaches into a woman's identity, her story, her worth โ€” 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 โ€” 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 โ€” 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.
