Outposts

 Outposts are based on early Christian and third-world national models of ministry, where locals use their own homes as places of meeting, training, fellowship, and Bible study for the equipment of the local underground church.  The host couple:
  • Facilitates Gatherings, Bible studies, and other ministry within their local area.
  • Provide Discipleship for those within their Outpost's ministry.
  • Offers access to the future School of the Underground.
  • Partner with local churches and ministries.
  • Distribute Antioch Bags.
  • Partner with the Online and In-Person Ministry at large.
  • Provide a place for those serving among the Subcultures, Natives, and Cowboys, to Refresh, Renew, Refuel, and Restock via guest cabins, retreats, and supply pantries.
  • Provide key needed items that are hard to access for rural/reservation ministries without going miles to the "big city".

The Goal with Outposts, starting at Desert Refuge, is to be places where those serving, be it in Native Outreach, Cowboy Ministry, or Subculture Outreach (to name a few), with Cowboy Church Pastors, Native Pastors and Missionaries, Subculture missionaries, or other ministries we walk alongside of, to have a place of refuge to come, Refresh, Renew, and Refuel.  This is to aid in the reduction of burnout many who serve in ministry experience, as well as providing useful resources, some of which the serving individual may not know have become available.

Desert Refuge Wire: Spring '23

  Dear Friends, Family, and Supporters, Spring has come with her fresh blooms, warming temps, and bright sunshine.  Not that this spring has not come without her troubles.  Our Gold HHR "Traveller" is out of commission for the time being, and we are currently borrowing Rob's parents' spare truck.   That being said, we are still busy with Rodeo, Worship, and Circle C Church ministry. This late winter/spring, Rob and Morria have set up tables representing the church at several local rodeos. Work still moves forward on the return to Dine' bi Keyah, the American Southwest, slated for 2025.  Steps are being taken for training and preparation as we go forward, with more details coming soon!  Again, dear friends and family, we thank you for your prayers and support!
