At El Refugio, we have various programs to help our community. We have so many different ministries and programs, there’s room for anybody to serve with us. Where can you help?
Construction Ministry:
House Building
Groups can come build homes for disadvantaged families. These houses, which are built over the span of four days, are 16 x20 feet. The families are chosen together with a pastor in their area, giving the pastor a chance to build an ongoing relationship with the family! These homes are a huge blessing to families, who finally have solid walls, cement floors, and a roof that doesn’t leak over their heads.
Other Opportunities:
Build outhouses, help complete churches, repair roofs, pour cement floors– just be willing to fill a need!
