Billy Howell hasn't added a story.
We are an organization who has a heart for the youth of small-town communities in North America. This will be our first year of operation, and we need help getting started. We are located in the Harvey, North Dakota community.
Our Mission
Our primary mission is to provide a safe and loving atmosphere for youth in the forms of youth centers, gospel camps, and other events for the purpose of building relationships and sharing Christ with them.
Our secondary mission is to follow that up by encouraging maturity and growth of young people through mentoring, coaching, jobs, community events, volunteer work, etc.
Our Vision
The summary of our vision is this: We want to see revival in North America come out of the youth of small-town communities.

Our Goals for 2015
We need to secure funding for our Refuge Youth Center building on Alder Ave by May 1
We are incorporated, and we would like to get our 501c(3) nonprofit status with the IRS
We would like to start licensing PureFlix movies to play at our Refuge Youth Center building for the Youth during the summer
We would like to host a 5k color-run for freedom this summer
We would like to host regular events at the Refuge Youth Center for after high school sports events
We would like to see youth dropping by the Refuge Youth Center randomly during the summer
We would like to have youth coming over after school or practice to work on homework (or just to hang out) on a regular basis
We would like to have youth that aren’t part of a youth group coming for Thursday Breakfast before school (even if it is just a drive-by)
Our Needs
Our goal is to raise at least $6000 to get us started and through the summer.
Here is a breakdown of our estimated costs for the summer:
$850 501c(3) Filing
$600 Projector
$100 Projection Screen
$400 PureFlix Licencing for 1 Year
$500 5k Freedom Run
$600 Food for youth
We are also needing about $3,000 for the Youth Center to help ensure that we will be able to get our mortgage finalized by May 1, 2015.
Beyond that, we are really praying that we may, by the grace of God, be able to cash-flow the Refuge Youth Center building.
We value your prayers as well as your financial support; if you are unable to give financially, but wish to support us, please share this fundraiser on social media. We value all who take interest in us, and we are comitted to doing what we can with what resources are given to us.
