He believes his prayers were answered thaj night, when a longtime supporter tame through in "response to m's eleventh hour cry for help. V Earp,- a former heroin addict, has never taken the easy way. In 1981, he started a street ministry in Yakima for troubled youths. That grew into two safe houses, for men and women, which he operated for seven years. In 1988, w ith a loan from a private organization, he realized his dream: a haven in the country for anyone in need. Earp calls the ranch "kind of a ' ... Walton-famil- y type center" that helps people break cycles of addiction and abuse. It's a registered nonprofit organization but receives no federal or state funds, mainly because of its Christian-base- d teachings. It operates solely on donations and doesn't charge those who come for help. Those w ho come stay as long as they want. Earp recommends a year, but some of the ranch's first residents are still there after eight years, including ranch manager Lonnie Bentz. Others leave quickly, unable to accept the ranch's Christian teachis" ings or its isolation. The ranch just outside Mabton. about 40 miles southeast of Yakima. The lita tle town of 1,625 people-hafound couldn't get a conventional handful of stores and a few blocks loan. of houses surrounded by farmland.

" ' The man asked for time to discuss the matter with his wife. The next morning, he agreed to finance the loan. Earp said he was, speechless with relief and overcome when he picked up the check and found out the loan was really a gift to First Love Ranch. He paid off the entire mortgage, and the ranch was ' free and clear. ." ". ', - There was just one condition, Earp said: $30,000 was to go to another ministry,, the Center for Sharing in Walla Walla. "That took us from being the tail to being the head in one day," Earp said, grinning. The ranch is going ahead with the sale of its acreage, and for the next 15 years, the payments will subsidize the ranch's operations. There's nothing fancy about the ranch: It houses as many as 100 people at a time in men's and women's dormitories. Small apartments and trailers accommodate families.. The. donated , furniture looks like it came from garage sales or the Salvation Army. Residents share cooking chores. They eat communal meals of. ranch-growvegetables and what-ever- 's been donated.
