In 2002, 12,000 new cases of children needing a home were reported to the Child Developmental Agency in Jamaica. The need is great!

At both of our City of Refuge homes we have developed a Christ-centered environment conducive to spiritual, mental, emotional and physical growth. It is our goal that each child and young adult is nurtured and helped to grow in each of these areas.

The City of Refuge homes are the only children's homes in Jamaica that have both a father and mother for the children. A family environment is established to nurture each child and model for them what a Godly family should look like.

We have a school at both locations to teach the children the fundamentals, such as reading, writing and arithmetic. As the children grow older, we teach them real life skills, such as computers, carpentry, sewing, and agriculture.

Our greatest goal is that each child will have a solid relationship with Christ and will be able to stand on their own by age eighteen. This is a tall order and we covet your prayers. We believe our children will leave the Cities of Refuge after high school and make a positive impact on their communities and their nation.
