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.

“A wonderful ministry that serves children here and abroad. I first met the founder, Jimmy Larche, when he came to visit my church during mission conference. Since then I have served at Breakaway’s summer camp for trauma-impacted kids, as well as the sports in ministry in Dominican Republic. Jimmy has a powerful testimony that drives him to reach out with the love of God to kids who are struggling like he once was.”

“I wouldn’t be where I am today if it wasn’t for Breakaway Outreach. My father was 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. 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.”

“This camp has been wonderful. You have helped me to find Jesus, the Lord. I have let Jesus into my heart. You have so many amazing people here and you have given me so much hope. God has given us all a chance to know and love each other. Thank you so much and I hope that I can keep coming back to camp.”

“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.”
