Migrant & Refugee Outreach — Breakaway Outreach

“Continue to love each other like brothers and sisters, and remember always to welcome strangers, for by doing this, some people have entertained angels without knowing it.”
—Hebrews 13:1-2

Through partnerships at home and abroad, we have mobilized communities to empower migrant and refugee children with a sense of dignity, community, belonging, love, and hope.

Our missions network has afforded individuals, church groups, and mission teams the opportunity to be the welcoming arms of Christ for many kids in refugee shelters, migrant communities, and places of resettlement. We have served migrant children regionally through our neighborhood outreach and summer camp programs, and globally through some of our international sports camps.

Feel free to contact us if you are interested in getting involved with a local outreach to migrant families or want to go on an overseas mission trip to serve refugee children.

Here are some passages for study about God’s heartbeat for the refugee, the impoverished sojourner, and those alienated on the margins of society: Deuteronomy 10:18-19, Leviticus 19:33-34, Leviticus 19:9-10, Ezekiel 16:49, Exodus 23:9, Malachi 3:5, 1 Kings 8:41-44, Job 31:32, Matthew 25:25-36, Luke 10:25-37.

“Before the first year at camp, it was the lowest part of my life. I had lost my mother and sister in a tragic car wreck. I was being bullied at school and was planning to commit suicide when I received an invitation with a scholarship to attend Breakaway camp. I decided to put off the suicide plan and attend camp. It was the best decision I ever made. I gave my life to Jesus at camp and then Breakaway helped me get involved with a local church. My life still has ups and downs but I know now that God has me no matter what.”

“I wouldn’t be where I am today if it wasn’t for Breakaway Outreach. My biological father was always incarcerated and I was sent into foster care. I started camp as a tiny little camper and now I get to serve as camp nurse! I graduated from Lee University with my Bachelor of Science in Nursing and I am currently working as a Nursery and Postpartum Nurse. Breakaway Outreach is exactly what it sounds like. It’s an outreach of family and community that all come together because we truly care about God’s children.”
