MATCHING CHALLENGE GRANT

 We are excited to announce that three anonymous donors have provided a matching challenge grant to encourage our Refuge of Nations' friends to increase their support for our work and to strengthen our financial base.

Please consider making a gift to Refuge of Nations between now and
the end of June. Every dollar donated up to $15,000 will be matched!

The scope and fruitfulness of our ministry continues to grow. We are now mentoring immigrants and refugees from Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin American, and The Middle East. By God's grace, many individuals and families' lives are being radically transformed through caring relationships built on trust and mutual respect and through the provision of our free professional counseling services.  

As we serve a larger community, we require greater resources to meet our expenses. Would you consider making a donation this month?

To do so, please click on teh PayPal Donate button

or send a check to:

Refuge of Nations, PO Box 63215, St. Louis, MO, 63163, noting "matching challenge" on the memo.
