We had around 20 kiddos stay around for our Refuge End of the Year bash! We had a great time of food, laughter, games, and encouragement. Shoutout to Mike and Barbara Page for donating the beef. Shoutout to BJ Danner and his church plant "The Bridge" for donating their time and effort to cook for us. Shoutout to Miss Lori for running the show and all volunteers for pouring your life out unto these students. Also, shoutout to Vince Gregory for donating backpacks to our students. The girls loved them.

We have seen so many amazing things this year amongst our students. They are hungry for belonging, knowing their purpose, and to be a part of a family that loves them like Jesus does.

We are taking 17 Refuge students (one of them is Courtyard's) to church camp in a few weeks. Please pray for God to change hearts and minds and to set these wonderful students on a path to their purpose!

We will meet over the summer, on Thursdays from 5 to 7 starting June 11th. Please send your kiddos. We want to continue to walk life with them outside of school as well.

Last thing. We are about to start up "Passion Projects" for our students. These are ways to give students opportunities to learn real life skills that will help them in life. We already have two! One is a circuit class where students learn the introduction to the flow of electrical work. The other one is a Financial Literacy course, designed specifically to help students learn the importance of being wise with their money and be set up for success in their future. More details and start dates coming soon!

Collinsville Community, thank you so much for your support of Refuge. Our mission is to raise up, train, and send out respectful, surrendered, and strong warriors to be light in our community. If you want to volunteer next year or serve in any capacity, we always need support. The more we come together, the bigger the impact will be.

You are loved.
