Finding Peace

Finding Peace

I followed my three year old out to the front yard. She happily lugged all of the books that her little arms could hold, and I carried a camping blanket. It was that special time in the afternoon, when the sun is beginning to make its downward turn, when the shadows of the full, leafy trees create cool sanctuaries in the grass: a fine time to spread out a blanket and read books.

Welcome to Olney, Yesol Lim

If you’ve been around The Refuge Christian Center this summer, you may have already met a cheerful young woman with a ready smile and a heart for children. Her name is Yesol Lim, and she’s been interning at The Refuge as part of a U.S.-based Christian internship program. Originally from Sejong City, South Korea, Yesol has brought her curiosity, energy, and faith to Olney for the past several weeks—and she’s quickly become a favorite among the children she works with.
