Rainbow Acres, one of the ministries our church is supporting this year through your mission giving, is a Christian community that empowers persons with developmental disabilities to live to his/her fullest potential with dignity and purpose.
Rainbow Acres opened its doors in 1974. Dr. Ralph Showers opened Rainbow Acres as a small, ranch-style community. Today it covers 27 acres and is home to nearly 100 ranchers. The ranch is located in Arizona’s scenic Verde Valley. Rainbow Acres provides safe and loving homes for adults with developmental disabilities and is a place that challenges them to reach their fullest physical, emotional and spiritual potential.
A Learning Center helps the ranchers expand their personal horizons with personal instruction to improve reading, math, language and cognitive skills, as well as practical information such as washing clothes and making a meal. In addition to the Learning Center there are Health and Wellness programs for nutrition, exercise and emotional balance; Spiritual Health programs for faith development; Therapeutic Programs; Tetra Equine therapy where ranchers groom and care for animals; Neuro Development therapy and other Enrichment programs such as Special Olympics, rancher choir, and boy scouts.
