Chris grew up with a missionary's heart. His first trip to Mexico was when he was 10 years old and he was hooked.  He moved with his family in Mexico to start The Refuge in 2014.  From the very beginning Chris's desire was to help kids in Mexico and that desire continues today. Chris loves serving the children. It doesn't matter if he's doing laundry, helping them get ready for the day, disciplining them, or being a loving uncle - he just loves to serve them. 

The children have captured Chris's heart. They have a history of abuse and neglect but Chris is determined to show them what loving family is like. 

 Chris is also a talented artist and photographer and so in addition to depending on the generosity of God working through people who support him, he offers his original artwork and photos for sale.  Click on the Facebook link above to be connected!
