Ministry Teams For 2018, Mi Refugio will not be hosting ministry teams. Stay tuned for 2019 ministry team information.  Throughout the year, short term ministry teams visit Mi Refugio to provide medical and dental services; work on construction/maintenance projects; and work directly with the children through teaching assignments.  The teams represent a multitude of denominations and are from various states and countries.  There is no typical person who particpates in these ministries as all age groups and backgrounds are well represented.

Ministry teams were the happy recipients of some of the class projects! Also, computer and woodworking classes have been added.
