New Vision Children’s Home was started in 1983 by Mr. and Mrs. Charles Benson Missionaries from the USA, it was then donated to the Assemblies of God in Jamaica in 2004. The vision of the City of Refuge Children’s Home was born in the hearts of Steve and Kim Puffpaff in 1997. Seeing the plight of the many homeless children in the island nation of Jamaica, they felt that God would have them do something to reach out to these children. As they began to think and pray, the name “City of Refuge” came to them. This name comes from Joshua 20 where it says that the Cities of Refuge should be a place to “escape the avenger”.
