Ciudad De Refugio
Volunteering
CDR takes volunteers out into the community to serve as Jesus served. Some volunteers may be believers and some are not. CDR uses this ministry to show the love of Jesus to others, whether serving or being served. Some outreach activities to the community include serving the community at the city dump. Visiting orphanages and providing time with children as well as providing needed resources. CDR also volunteers at women shelters, bringing love, compassion, and supplies to those women. CDR clothes and provides blankets and meals to a homeless community in Cochabamba. CDR also takes in country mission trips to the Andes mountains and the jungles of the Amazon. All of this is done to demonstrate how one lives out their faith andlove for others.
My Story
Ciudad de Refugio is currently partnering with an orphanage, Hijas del Rey, and a community center and after-school program, Ushpa Ushpa. Both locations are visited bi-weekly, with opportunities for volunteers to join, support, or lead activities.
At Hijas del Rey, time is spent helping with homework, sharing snacks, and playing games with the children.
Ushpa Ushpa is a newer initiative, where English classes are provided along with snacks and games, creating both educational support and meaningful connection.
A central focus in both spaces is building deep, meaningful relationships with the children while showing and sharing the love of God in tangible ways.
