Refuge Temple Ministries
The vision for our ministry is the same as that of Jesus Christ, “to reconcile all men back to God.” Backsliders are being restored. Sinners are being converted from gang-bangers, whoremongers, and prostitutes into children of God. Truly, we are people who are preparing ourselves for the coming of the Lord.
