Operation Refuge Launch in Des Moines, IA

Sat. January 28th, 2012

In a humble church in Ankeny, IA on a regular Saturday morning socio-economic, ethnic, religious, and cultural barriers were declared war zones. Over 45 organizations came together to contend for the best in our home state and build bridges over the next 12 months. Delivering our finest services to people who are looking for solutions to real life opportunities. We are working together to bring hope and restoration to a state of refuge. Currently lanes into Operation Refuge will be providing counseling, rehabilitation, emergency response in disaster areas, equine therapy, prayer, discipleship, food, shelter and clothing with more lanes to be added over the next 30 days. We long to be the answer to unity and wholeness physically, mentally, emotionally, and most importantly spiritually. An idea so large one organization could not possibly sponsor, but the weight of which could only be carried by all its parts fighting to come together, laying aside preconceived notions and saying "We need you to survive". Birthed in fertile soil, plowed by greats like Martin Luther King Jr who dared to dream something crazy; much bigger than one man but changing a nation forever. Thank you to all the saints who poured their love, prayers, sweat and tears into our land. We couldn't have done it without you!
