What we do
City of Refuge
City of Refuge in Middelburg, Eastern Cape, South Africa opened in October 2016. It is a place of love, hope, security, and an environment for healing from past wounds, the ability to live day by day, facing issues head on.
Our desire is to provide a sanctuary of unyielding, unconditional love.
City of Refuge does not simply invite broken hearts and lives into a safe place, we also challenge women to become self-supportive and live a life marked by dignity and hope.
There is Hope!
Discipleship
To show them Jesus and to teach them about the word and permanent healing through Jesus. Those residing in Middelburg also attend daily devotions in the mornings if possible. Every Thursday afternoon we share Jesus with the kids (between 50 - 80 children) in Rossmead (a deteriorated poverty stricken little village outside Middelburg).
