August is the best!

I love the month of August, because fall sports are getting kicked off, people aren't traveling as much, and things are starting to see some semblance back to a normal schedule.  I also really enjoy the first couple weeks of August because we start training and equipping our new and veteran volunteers!

This coming Wednesday night we start the process of gathering our REFUGE volunteer family back together. I love this time because for some of these volunteers we haven't seen all summer, because they take off on vacations, work a little bit more, and visit family. But for the next two weeks on Wednesday nights for 2 hours, we gather together, break bread, and we pray and learn about how to minister to students.

I am especially excited for this group coming in because this will be the largest group of new volunteers we have ever had. God has provided some amazing volunteers this year, I believe this year could be a fantastic year of ministry at REFUGE!

Be praying for us this week as we start training, and we start praying for God to some massive things this year, please pray for clarity for our leaders who will be leading small groups this year. There are so many ups and downs with small groups and that is the reason we need to keep lifting up these amazing people up in prayer. They are going to be on the front lines of ministry all year long!

Please lift up our REFUGE team this week in prayer!

We are super excited for the year to come. We will have lots of details to put out to you soon, like our new app, new calendar, new check in system, lots of new things!

Have a great day!
