We are not a church, so we do not receive your “tithes”. Your tithes belong to the place you consider to be your church home. However we do accept “contributions” or “freewill offerings”. We do need finances in order to keep Refuge doors open and do greatly appreciate your giving to meet our needs both financial and material.
Exodus 35:21-29 (Amplified Bible)
21And they came, each one whose heart stirred him up and whose spirit made him willing, and brought the Lord's offering to be used for the [new] Tent of Meeting, for all its service, and the holy garments.
22They came, both men and women, all who were willinghearted, and brought brooches, earrings or nose rings, signet rings, and armlets or necklaces, all jewels of gold, everyone bringing an offering of gold to the Lord.
23And everyone with whom was found blue or purple or scarlet [stuff], or fine linen, or goats' hair, or rams' skins made red [in tanning], or dolphin or porpoise skins brought them.
24Everyone who could make an offering of silver or bronze brought it as the Lord's offering, and every man with whom was found any acacia wood for any work of the service brought it.
25All the women who had ability and were wisehearted spun with their hands and brought what they had spun of blue and purple and scarlet [stuff] and fine linen;
26And all the women who had ability and whose hearts stirred them up in wisdom spun the goats' hair.
27The leaders brought onyx stones and stones to be set for the ephod and for the breastplate,
28And spice, and oil for the light and for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense.
29The Israelites brought a freewill offering to the Lord, all men and women whose hearts made them willing and moved them to bring anything for any of the work which the Lord had commanded by Moses to be done.
