The vision and philosophy of The Cities of Refuge - Dallas is one of restoration, a visual theme found within the Old Testament. The Cities of Refuge occurred to the designated places where someone has been killed by another person, which is to escape the vengeance of outraged relatives or friends. It is where someone could await trial and determine their guilt or innocence safely. These cities were viewed as justice being done. Our goal is to set the stage for a person's restoration from bondage. Restoration is the rebuilding of functioning churches where each believer does his or her part by flowing in the works that God has prepared and to be fulfilled in their life.
Our primary focus is restoring the believer's purpose and destiny through a five-fold ministry. This type of ministry comes from Numbers 35, Deuteronomy 19, and Joshua 20 distinguishes eight characteristics of the cities of refuge:
In other words, it is about helping the believer to fully recognize and function within areas of their anointing. The purpose is for him or her to release the anointing and ministry that God has prepared for them, which results in a lifestyle change during the production of works of service so that the body of Christ can be built up into maturity.
