It all started with a vision.
Carolyn Koons had a vision to develop a year-round, in-country Mexico Outreach center to house mission teams as they came to serve in the area. This also would be made available for conferences and retreats. In 1998, this became a reality in Rancho el Refugio (“The Ranch”).
Over the past 20+ years since its inception, The Ranch has grown to include a grade school for local children, conference facility for 300 participants, accomodations to house 100 overnight, a campground to hold 500+ campers, plus other amenities like a commercial kitchen.
