Albie Pearson is a former major league baseball player who played professionally for fourteen years.  A severe injury curtailed an illustrious career as the American League Rookie of the Year and an American League All Star. 

In 1979 Albie and his wife Helen, founded United Ministries International.  Through this mission, they have been involved in seeing schools, orphanages and churches established in the United States, Eastern Europe, Mexico and South America.

Fourteen years later, Albie and Helen moved to the Coachella Valley.  Their hearts' desire to help hurting children was overwhelming.  "There was no question in our minds that this burden was from the heart of the Heavenly Father.  The reality of the need became so heavy that we had to find a place to provide a safe home for these children."

In 1997, Albie came across an 11-acre parcel of land that he knew he had to purchase.  The Pearsons sold ther home and moved into the Ranch they had purchased for "their" children.  The vision of the Father's heart had begun.  After several years and many children, Father's Heart Ranch is going to the next level.

"We hope you'll be part of it.  We love you."
Albie & Helen Pearson

The Pearsons have have been married for 53 years.
They have five children, 17 grandchildren and 8 great-grandchildren.
