March Missions Spotlight: The Refuge

Reaching refugees with the love of Christ

Scott and Tiffany Kelley lead a ministry known as The Refuge, which focuses on mentoring/discipling refugee youth and young adults and equipping them to serve Christ’s kingdom in the US and overseas.

The Refuge has three main priorities: regular mentoring of former refugees (weekly meetings, yearly camps), sending former refugees into the mission field (short term or long term), and supporting the work of overseas refugee ministries. Scott and Tiffany are long-time friends of River Oaks Church.

Watch the following video for a glimpse into some of the work of The Refuge.
