Prayer Team for Tyler
We are in the process of establishing our prayer team for the Tyler area. Please let us know if you feel called to serve in this capacity. This is the MOST important aspect of what we do at the Refuge. Prayer is essential for God's guidance & protection. Being involved in this ministry will require e-mail access, prayer conference calls and a commitment to PRAY.
Prevention programs are the best way to prepare our children in case they are confronted by an on-line predator or met face to face with a trafficker.
Don't wait...
it could be too late.
