IMPACT IN ACTION
PARAGUAY
On a mission trip to Tobatí, Paraguay, founders Scott and Michelle Kvandal learned about the children and orphans suffering from abuse, abandonment, and impoverished living conditions. They also found many widows and single mothers who had no ability to provide the basic needs for their children. In 2010 we opened the doors to our 14-acre campus to care for these children, orphans, widows, and single mothers. Su Refugio has become a place of “His Refuge” and a beacon of hope into the larger Tobatí community.
