Relearning
Dear Friends and family,
You know whats so exciting about the first day of school?
The newness of it all. The fortunate ones have a completely
new outfit, the latest fashionable sneakers, a rugged new
backpack full of freshly sharpened pencils and
untattered notebooks. They possess the confident swagger
of a preteen making the jump from elementary to middle
school; to new classrooms with new teachers. Perhaps as a
student you even dealt with the gut twisting apprehension
of a new school.
Life is dizzying that first week or two at the start of a new
school year. So many different things to learn and investigate. There is that shadow of your normal life outside of
school underlying all the activity and
attraction found inside the hallowed
halls of learning. You walk a line
between who you are at home and
the person you portray at school.

A Prayer
Reading these testimonies and remembering
others, I thank You for the Refuge: the staff, the
volunteers, both the boards, all the donors, the
churches, the foundations and all who are part of
this wonderful mission that it is today. And, thank
You for all those souls who have come through our
doors seeking help.
When I survey the wondrous things that You have
done in all of our lives, I am staggered by the
incredible power of Your love. Almost twenty
years have gone by so quickly since that first
wounded woman came knocking on the door of
the Womens Refuge saying, Help me, please. I
feel so lost and alone and out of control. Is there
any hope for me, because I dont even know who I
am? Looking back in my own relearning Your
grace and love, I saw You standing at our door
knocking, asking to come in with us over and over
again. As you did to the least of these, you did
unto Me. Matthew 25:40b
Youre still offering this abundant life, Lord, to
anyone who is weak and heavy laden and wanting
healing from their wounds. And, were still at the
Refuges doors waiting to open them up to anyone
truly seeking help. God is our refuge and
strength, a very present help in trouble. Psalm 46: 1
Thank You for all those who are coming up behind
me helping to keep the Womens Refuge doors
open. May You be glorified above all else. ~ Donna

There are so many people and businesses who support us on a regular basis and we want to thank you for
your faithfulness over the many months and years you have sustained us. God has used you mightily by the
financial contributions that flow into our ministry. Others have given of their time and provisions. Recently
we have had Seahorse Lane Boutique, Bicycle Sport, ACT Computers, Spiros Taverna, Beach Bum Bagels and
A Slice of Paris make donations to the Womens Refuge. Thank you for filling a need! Readers, please
support these businesses who have given so generously to us.
Amy Wong is one of our graduates and is serving at Street LIFE Ministries in
New York. She recently visited and shared her thoughts on her time with us.
I am so blessed to call this place home for so many reasons. Each of you pour
into my life . . . I am so grateful for the relationships in this place. I cannot begin
to tell you how refreshed and encouraged I was spending time with each of
you. Im praying for you constantly and look forward to the next time I can be
with you again . . . . to God be the glory! Love, Amy
We love you too, Amy. Please keep her in your prayers as she is on the front
line, sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ to the poor and downtrodden.
