                  Restoring Hope, Renewing Lives

Our Roots

Roanoke Ranch for Kids began in 2003 when Aaron Decker answered God’s call, birthing a living ministry where horses and the Gospel unite to break down fear and ignite hope and self-worth in every young heart. Partnering with local ministries, we turn faith into fearless action—sowing seeds of courage, truth, and a Christ-centered identity. On the front lines of spiritual warfare, we equip wounded kids and teens to leave their past behind, embrace their God-given worth, and step boldly into their divine purpose, empowered by the Holy Spirit.

Saddling Up Souls for Jesus

Welcome to Roanoke Ranch for Kids!

We’re Aaron and Dr. Ginger Decker—husband-and-wife ministry partners who believe horses are God’s gift for healing young hearts. 

​What began as Aaron’s personal refuge in hard seasons has grown into a shared calling and a kingdom movement: drawing hurting teens and children into Jesus’ arms through equine therapy and a prayerful community—helping each child discover their worth, their purpose, and the One who loves them best.

Saddle up with us as we guide young souls toward Christ’s healing grace, one gentle hoof-beat at a time.

“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” (Psalm 147:3)

At Roanoke Ranch for Kids, we witness the healing power of horses in action: these gentle giants mirror God’s own touch, helping kids and teens find courage, hope, and the promise of new life in Jesus.
