As a church, we are firm believers in actively participating in Jesus’ assignment to “go into all the world.” While we are involved in feeding and reaching out to the less fortunate, right here in Edmonton, we also partner with Randy and Sandra Huebert of El Refugio in Ensenada, Mexico (www.therefugemx.com).
El Refugio is a refuge home for girls and children, many of whom have been rescued from backgrounds such as addiction or trafficking. We are committed to sending teams down to El Refugio to serve on a regular basis, building homes for the poor and interacting with the kids and youth in the children’s home, and extending the ministry of the Journey Church into neighboring villages.
While we do fund other foreign missions, our priority is always to “be sent” over just sending others. The commission applies to all of us, and it is our conviction that it isn’t optional, or that it only applies to those we deem to “have that gift.” Ensenada is close enough to reach affordably, yet provides ample opportunity to serve “the least of these” in a foreign area.
