“When Jesus looked up and saw a great crowd coming toward him, he said to Philip, ‘Where shall we buy bread for these people to eat?’ He asked this only to test him, for he already had in mind what he was going to do.” —John 6:5–6

“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind... And love your neighbor as yourself.”— Matthew 22:37–39 This command is not just a verse we recite—it is the heartbeat of Refuge. We love these neighbors of ours not with judgment, but with open arms. Every ultrasound, every answered question, every hopeful smile is the fruit of loving our neighbor—just as Christ commanded. You make this ministry possible!

“For this reason, I kneel before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name.
