The Refuge

My wife and I are in the earliest planning stages of forming a mission team. We are going to be planting a church and running a full-time orphanage in a Spanish speaking country, (God willing of course) in 5-10 years. Our long term Goal is to start an orphanage network that brings aid to children all over the world. Though we have to start somewhere and that somewhere is here. This Blog is sounding board for our thoughts and ideas about this ministry, but more importantly we hope that we will let others see the importance of this ministry and get some people committed to being real prayer warriors, on these children's behalf.

First I want to say that I was once told to dream and pray big about God's people and God will bless your big dreams and prayers more than you can fathom. The Refuge is the product of those dreams and prayers. The Refuge will be the ministry that handles adoptions, finances, staffing, and supplies, for as many orphanages and church's as we can plant. Someday maybe years after I leave this world there may be a Christ centered network of hundreds of orphanages, throughout the world. But right now I'm praying for one to come into existence - Dia Por Ninos (Day for the children.) God protects the innocent through the hands and hearts of his believers. There are countless children in such dire need for God's people that we can't sit and watch anymore. We have to GO! and feed, and hug and bathe. We must do something instead of sitting and watching from inside our safety nets. The first and most important thing needed is prayer. Please pray today for the children in need, in this world, and specifically for the children that The Refuge may reach. Thanks Love you all, Ryan and Emily
