It’s kind of funny (…or something); I’ve been a member of a superchurch, part of midsized congregations, and even little ‘one horse shops’ in my search for God, but not until the Refuge did I understand what a strong church is.

Seeking God’s face is a worthwhile endeavor, but one I have often tried too hard to achieve; the answer is not to be found in buildings, nor even in the heavens. I now find that I need only to look across the table to see the face of God, I need only listen to a friend to hear His wisdom, I need only accept a hug to feel His love, and I need only offer to be helpful to spread His Word.

These are some of the things I’ve come to see since attending the meetings at the Refuge, whether they be held in a hall, a lodge, someone’s living room or on the phone.

I’ve come to love this “church” for what I see it as: God’s people, doing God’s work through God’s Spirit.

Thanks for letting me be part of it.

I love you all, Steve
