In the latest episode of "2 Pentecostals and a Microphone" we have the pleasure of speaking with Rev. Aaron Arrowood about the origins of "El Refugio" (or "The Refuge" in English). This outreach program for kids and youth was founded by Aaron Arrowood and has made a significant impact on the community. During this interview, Bryce and Jaredith talk with Aaron about the challenges he faced when starting the program and the new challenges of a mature outreach program. The current program offers various activities, including sports, arts and crafts, and music. It also provides hot meals, snacks, and transportation for the kids.
The hosts discuss with Aaron the importance of building trust with families in the community and how the program has evolved over the years to meet the changing needs of the kids and youth. Aaron shares with them some heartwarming stories of how the program has positively impacted the lives of the kids and youth who participate, including helping them with their schoolwork, providing them with positive role models, and giving them a sense of belonging and community. We have seen kids baptized and filled with the Holy Ghost and entire families have come into the church as a result of El Refugio.
Overall, this interview provides an inspiring and informative look at the origins of El Refugio and the impact it has had on the lives of the kids and youth in the community. It's a testament to the power of grassroots efforts to make a positive difference in the world.
