June 17, 2015 - August 1, 2016

City of Refuge Ministries Catalyst program is a 6 week discipleship training and field work program.  Catalyst members will participate in daily discipleship classes led by international ministers, missionaries, and servants of God; participate in work projects that will give you a fuller picture of the work of CORM in our community and campus; go on evangelistic and research outreaches in surrounding communities; live with many rescued children and experience the Father’s heart for the orphaned, abandoned, and trafficked; gain understanding of how to minister cross-culturally; get practically equipped for the challenges of third-world nations; live in community with the many who serve and love at the City of Refuge Ministries Campus.
