October: NEW LIFE REFUGE
New Life Refuge is a place of specialized, long-term, therapeutic care where child sex trafficking survivors can heal and process through their trauma. Their trauma-informed care program provides a home of normalcy that includes loving house parents and daily family activities.
Sunday, October 3 is World Communion Day and the day that we take the Peace and Global Witness offering. Twenty-five percent of the collected offering stays with the church. This year we decided to donate our share to New Life Refuge, a ministry for underage girls and boys who are the victims of human trafficking.
