Big Oak Ranch, founded in 1974, grew out of John Croyle's dream of building the best children's home in America. Today our country is full of children who are literally orphans, whether physically, mentally, emotionally or spiritually. John and Tee Croyle, along with the Big Oak Ranch staff, have been called to meet the needs of over 1,500 children by giving them a solid, Christian home and a chance to fulfill God's plan for their lives. The "cornerstone" and even the name of Big Oak Ranch has remained fundamentally rooted in Isaiah 61:3, "And they shall be called oaks of righteousness, the planting of the Lord that He may be glorified."
