Nestled in the quiet countryside of southern Michigan, Miracle Meadows Ranch is more than a ranch—it is a place where lives are restored, hope is rediscovered, and God's love is experienced in a tangible way.
Every horse, donkey, pony, and dog at Miracle Meadows has a story. Many have overcome hardship, neglect, fear, or brokenness. Their journeys remind us that no life is beyond redemption. As God has faithfully restored them, they now help us share His love with others.
Whether someone is a child, a veteran, a senior in a nursing home, an individual with special needs, or simply someone carrying unseen burdens, we believe every person is deeply loved by God and has immeasurable worth.
Our animals have a remarkable way of reaching hearts where words sometimes cannot. They build trust, inspire courage, encourage confidence, bring laughter, offer comfort, and often become the beginning of healing.
At Miracle Meadows Ranch, we believe every interaction is an opportunity to share the hope found in Jesus Christ.
Our ministry combines the unique bond between people and animals with Biblical truth, creating an environment where lives can be encouraged, strengthened, and transformed.
Whether it's helping someone overcome fear while riding a horse, bringing comfort through a hospice visit, or simply sharing a quiet moment in God's creation, we desire every person who visits the ranch to leave knowing they are seen, loved, and never alone.
Miracle Meadows Ranch was founded on a passion to share the love of Jesus through the powerful bond between people and animals.
Many of our animals came from hard places, but through love, time, and God's grace, they were given a second chance.
Today, they are changing lives-helping others find hope, healing, confidence, and the reminder that they are never alone..
Miracle Meadows Ranch was founded by Jacques and Annie Schiller out of a lifelong passion for sharing the love of Jesus through relationships, compassion, and God's creation.
For many years, Jacques and Annie have served in youth ministry, senior care ministry, and opened their hearts and home to children from many different backgrounds. Their greatest desire has always been to reach those who are often overlooked—the underprivileged, individuals with disabilities, the elderly, and anyone searching for hope, healing, and belonging.
Jacques is the visionary and builder behind Miracle Meadows Ranch. Whether he's on a tractor preparing the arena, constructing a new project, repairing fences, or maintaining the property, his hands help create a place where people and animals can safely gather, learn, and experience God's love.
Annie has a passion for helping people discover biblical truths through the lessons God teaches us in His creation. Through the horses, dogs, and everyday life at the ranch, she shares the parables God reveals, showing how His Word brings hope, healing, restoration, and transformation. Her desire is that every visitor leaves knowing they are deeply loved by God and never beyond His reach.
Annie has devoted many years to animal behavior and therapy ministry and has been honored to serve in a variety of professional roles
Together, Jacques and Annie believe that every horse has a story, every person has value, and every life matters. Miracle Meadows Ranch exists to provide a place where faith, horses, animals, and genuine relationships come together to point people to the greatest Healer of all—Jesus Christ.
"At Miracle Meadows Ranch, we believe broken lives can be restored because we serve a God who restores."
