Refuge of Hope Ministries

Friends! Refuge of Hope has another retreat coming up in late October. If you know of a pastor’s spouse or woman in ministry who might like to attend, please let us know; we’d love to reach out to her!

We're gearing up for our next retreat! Retreat planning is always an act of faith. We have to pay a deposit on the facility before the first attendee has even registered. If you know of a pastor's wife or pastoral supporter that might benefit from attending, please forward them this info. PLEASE DO NOT TAG THEM IN THIS POST. We don't limit this to only the spouses of SENIOR/LEAD pastors. Really, anyone in ministry is invited. If you're not sure you "qualify," just give us a shout.

We have a lot of people who often ask us what we need for Refuge of Hope.

We've found ourselves in need of some techie stuff. During our retreats and other events that we're invited to, we usually juggle lots of paper copies of teaching notes as well as music (because we almost always lead worship at the events we lead).

The bottom line is that it'd be incredibly valuable to us to have an iPad for our retreats so that we can store, edit, and organize ALL of our material. We'd also keep retreat records. We could have access to any music with wi-fi capability instead of depending on only the paper copies that we've brought with us.

While we do have cash in our account, we'd prefer to save that to use for scholarships. Our hope is that someone with a heart for all things technological would prayerfully consider gifting Refuge of Hope with this tool of ministry.

A link to our Amazon wishlist in included. If you want to support Refuge of Hope in this way - or any way at all - please don't hesitate to reach out!

6 weeks from today is our next retreat! This one is for young adult women (20-somethings). Refuge of Hope is keeping the retreat costs and fees VERY LOW. We have a few sponsors (THANK YOU!) but we could use a few more to help with gifts, food costs, etc. Please let us know if you'd like to help sponsor this retreat! We'll happily keep your donation anonymous, and we're also more than willing to include you on our list of sponsors. Thank you all so much for continuing to support Refuge of Hope in so many ways!

Every time God gives Refuge of Hope another opportunity to minister to another group of people, we are humbled. It's not through our own effort or achievement, but only by the goodness and kindness of God that we have any of these opportunities.

Kim and Terra not only minister with Refuge of Hope; they are also both deeply involved in Thirteenth Tribe Ministries, a spiritual freedom ministry that operates out of Lowell, MI. Next week Kim and Terra will be traveling with two other Thirteenth Tribe members to minister in Uganda, Africa. They'll be gone from December 5-December 17. Would you be willing to support them in prayer during this trip?

Kim and Terra's main prayer request is that they would be very attentive to the voice of the Holy Spirit on this trip. The agenda is very open for adjustment. They want to hear God's voice and move when He says move, speak when He says speak, and do what He says, when He says.

Thank you for your willingness to pray!

Friends! We now have a platform for automated giving!!! We've had several supporters reach out and ask how they can give recurring donations to Refuge of Hope... Our Zeffy account is officially active and ready to receive donations.

100% of what you donate is transferred to Refuge of Hope. This site asks if you'd like to pay the processing fee, but you can opt out of that; the processing/transaction fees will NOT be passed along to Refuge of Hope. (Just click "other" on the contribution bar and then leave the amount blank.) Of course, you're welcome to pay for processing fees if you'd like to do that.

Thank you for your consistent support and encouragement as we continue to honor The Lord with the opportunities He gives us!

We only need $850 to have our next retreat fully funded... Please let us know if you'd like to support RoH with this!

Refuge of Hope usually has to find about $6,000 in sponsorships to make retreats financially possible. But this time we're finding ourselves in a different boat... a GOOD boat. We only need $1500 to close the financial gap for this retreat. If anyone would like to donate, please send us a message and we'll make that happen. We're so thankful for how God is blessing this ministry and making these retreats more accessible to pastors and church leaders! Again, looking for $1500 by the end of this month!
