Welcome to the Family

“Just because everything is different doesn't mean that everything has changed.” Irene Peter

As parents, we know change with its accompanying growing pains is inevitable, but ultimately rewarding. Our family prepares for yet another change as we return to the States in June for a time of missionary renewal and itineration. Anticipating this transitional year, we have welcomed two couples qualified and called of God to fill in the gap at New Vision City of Refuge.

Paul and Dulcie Bushhorn will act as interim directors at New Vision City of Refuge. The Bushhorn family ministered at another children’s home in Jamaica a couple of years ago and are eagerly anticipating their return to Jamaica. Their love for children, years of ministry experience, and humble hearts will be a welcome asset to New Vision City of Refuge.

Jordan and Becky Yoder will also lend their expertise at New Vision City of Refuge. Graduates of University of Missouri, Jordan earned a degree in Plant Science and Becky is a registered nurse. Jordan will oversee our sprawling farm and care for our growing animal family. Becky will assist our medical teams and oversee the children’s health needs.

Life is full of changes and transitions, but the Lord remains faithful and his foundations firm. We are confident the children and staff at New Vision City of Refuge are in very capable hands.

"The plans of the LORD stand firm forever, the purposes of his heart through all generations.” Psalm 33:11

Check Out Our Chicks

New Vision City of Refuge is raising more then kids these days, we got chicks as well! Last fall, a team from King of Kings Lutheran Church built our chicken coop and just recently we were able to put on the finishing touches. Another blessing is our new missionary associates, Jordan and Becky Yoder. Jordan grew up on a farm and has a degree in Plant Science, so our 159 chicks will be well cared for.

Check out a video of our new chicks by clickng on the link in the right-hand column under Photo Albums.
