Refuge Christian Ministries International
OUR HEART by Don Moen
KENYA
Refuge Christian Ministries Intl joined with Crossroads Outreach Ministries Intl on a ST missions trip to Kenya October 4-21, 2011. This trip was a very busy trip, but also very rewarding with some great ministry and training left behind that provided encouragement to the pastors and the people. We also visited two orphanges where we encouraged the children to realize God's plan for their lives. We were also able to bless both orpahanges with needed supplies that your financial support of the team made possible. God bless you for helping these young ones through your faithful giving.
STATISTICS:
For those who like statistics, here you go:
The team preached to and ministered to over 3,500 people
The team provided vocational training to 201 pastors in several classes
The team ministered to approximately 400 orphans and approximately 50 orphanage workers in two orphanages
We purchased supplies and equipment (from your donations) for both orphanages
ALL of this was only possible because YOU supported us with your prayers and finances. You were there right beside us and will share in the eternal rewards from the results of the ministry that happened because of your participation. Thanks and God bless you!!!
NOW WHAT?
We will be doing some school presentations about Kenya, as well as numerous church presentations. We have been asked to return to Kenya soon. We are praying about this request and would ask you to be praying with us as well. We are open to whatever doors the Lord would open for us to walk through.
Keep the country of Kenya in your prayers - I believe God is bringing blessing to Kenya and the church there is really growing. Pray for VOSH churches and Ebenezer Life Centre as they continue to proclaim the good news of the gospel and read out to the orphans and widows. Finally, pray for the R.O.C.K. ministry as they continue to move forward with their dream of a children's village in the Malava area. To learn more about R.O.C.K. you can visit their website at www.rockministriesinternational.org .

HAITI
Refuge Christian Ministries International organizes an annual short-term missions trip to NW Haiti Christian Mission every year. It's always a special time with lots of new faces to meet and talk to. NWHCM provides an opportunity to really see missions first hand with so many choices of ministry available. There is literally a place for everyone from youth to elderly; individuals and whole families. Plus, you will be part of a team of over 100 team members from all over the USA. Many have been traveling to Haiti every year for many years. What a great opportunity to pick someone's brain who has been involved in missions for a number of years. If you have ever thought about going on a mission trip, we highly recommend this opportunity. The cost is affordable requiring minimal fundraising, the location is not far away, and the the ministry choices are vast. Pray and consider joining with us on the next trip to Haiti.
DATES: JANUARY 1-10, 2012 (Closed after November 2011)
