Miracle Farm not tied to bikers' rally,
boys' ranch ministry leaders explain
Promotional materials for the upcoming Dawgs on Hawgs bikers' rally at Somerville claim its proceeds will support charities including “Miracle Farm.”
But the beneficiary is not the boys' ranch in Brenham, said Jack Meeker, Miracle Farm executive director.
"As a nonprofit Christian-based boys' ranch program promoting positive values and restoration for at-risk teenage boys struggling to turn their lives around, our mission simply does not coincide with the activity currently being promoted by Dawgs on Hawgs," Meeker said. "We would not choose that activity as an avenue to raise support for our organization."
Miracle Farm boys' ranch is a ministry of Texas Baptist Children's Home & Family Services, affiliated with the Baptist General Convention of Texas.
