Our church does what?

"Babe, you will not BELIEVE what our church does! It's so cool!"

'okay, what?'

"A group of ladies felt like God wanted them to share His love and grace with the employees at a local strip club. They prayed about what to do and remembered how Jesus always met the physical needs of people before meeting other needs. With that they decided to make a home cooked meal to take and serve in the club."

'WOW! Can I do it?'

This ministry now shares God's love with the employees of 5 strip clubs in the area. As opportunities arose to really help the club employees we felt lead to pray that God would provide a home for exotic dancers who wished to leave the adult entertainment industry.

Words cannot describe how dear this organization is to my heart. The Refuge for Women for so many years was a fervent prayer, a hope, a vision of greater things to come. God answered our prayers and more. Volunteers came forward, people gave generously, a house was donated, renovated, painted and decorated.

This is a non profit organization in which people have left more comfortable jobs to follow God's will and work for the Refuge for Women. To keep life change happening the Refuge for Women ultimately depends on God's provision but they also depend on the generosity of people who are willing to give financial support. Derrick and I give what we can, and it's not as much as we wish to give but I can run. This is why I have chosen to raise support for the Refuge for Women by running a marathon. Check out www.refugeforwomen.org. You can also find them on Face Book.


Let's go for a run!
