Welcome


the movement has begun…the remnant has been stirred…the warriors are mounting…a city that has been oppressed for too long is about to be shaken. feel free to join in with us as we make this journey together. if you are wanting to read the latest information please check out the news link. it is there that you will be able to read all of the details of this journey as they unfold.

what is the refuge up to right now:

  1. Phase 1: Remodeling: We are remodeling an old crack house downtown Oklahoma City, Oklahoma and transforming it into a light house. This effort has been made possible by many hundreds of individuals who want to see their city changed.
  2. Phase 2: Relocating: We are moving in disciplers/missionaries who are are desiring to live missionally-minded right here in the city of Oklahoma City. We long to see, lived out, the Acts 2 chapter as our model (to have all things in common and to share life together). Our goal is to be the light on dark streets in the inner city by living out the role of the church with Christ Jesus as the head.
  3. Phase 3: Fatherless and Widows: We look to move in widows/orphans inside our community at the Refuge. We feel that this is the heart of the LORD to look over the widows and orphans. Therefore, we long to invite them into our lives that we might do life with them right next door. Invite them to be our neighbors. The role of the disciplers/missionaries will be to love on our neighbors and to be an example. That is why we see older men and women and younger men and women living within the Refuge. We long to see that the older women teach the younger women and that the older men teach the younger men. We will see fruit as the older women pour into the younger girls, and the men show the younger kids the role of an earthly father. We are looking forward to seeing what this would look like as the role of the church to be right next door to those who are in desperate need of relationship with those who are in love with Christ.
  4. Phase 4: Great Commission: We see The Refuge becoming a hub for those in the OKC area to join in the efforts of fulfilling the great commission. Upon meeting numerous people and churches, it has become evident that there is a great number of people highly interested in transforming communities. We have seen great success up to this point as we have been slowly going about the ministry these last few months.
  5. Phase 5: Kingdom Expansion: Our future hope is to have a place for the church body to collide with others who may be living on the streets. Our building will be a place for relationships, discipleship, and walking together in life. It will be a place where we can sit down with them and have a cup of coffee or a cup of cold water.
