REGIONS OF REFUGE

Where God Is Positioning His People in This Generation

VISION → Regions of Refuge

God has always marked out geographical places of safety for His people in times of shaking.

In every generation of judgment or transition, there are appointed safe zones, corridors, and communities where the remnant can thrive while the systems of the world shake.

We call these places Regions of Refuge. This page explains why they exist, how they are formed, and where they are emerging.

1. WHAT A “REGION OF REFUGE” IS — AND IS NOT

A Region of Refuge is:

  • a broad geographic zone,
  • where God restrains destruction,
  • where natural disasters are moderated,
  • where war impact is limited,
  • where spiritual resistance is strong,
  • where remnant communities can be planted.

It is not a bunker, a compound, or a perfect utopia.

It is a larger area where God says, in principle:

“Here I will give My people space to prosper, recover, and rebuild.”

Regions of refuge are best established and discerned before crisis — so the remnant can relocate without panic, in obedience and peace.

2. HOW GOD MARKS SAFE REGIONS

Biblically and historically, God often chooses refuge regions according to four patterns:

A. Geographic Shielding

Natural barriers that reduce impact:

  • mountains,
  • valleys,
  • rivers,
  • elevation,
  • geological stability.

B. Spiritual History

Places with past awakenings or faithful covenant roots — where the Name of the Lord has been honored and His people have walked with Him over generations.

C. Remnant Assignment

Regions where God has quietly been gathering prepared people for decades — intercessors, homesteaders, pastors, and families who have responded to His leading.

D. Strategic Position

Not too remote, not too central — positioned to:

  • receive refugees,
  • train leaders,
  • send help,
  • become local hubs of peace.

This is why many safe zones are mid-mountain, inland, and rural-but-connected.

3. THE MAJOR REFUGE REGIONS (Global & U.S.)

Below is the simplified list used for this FOZI Vision section. More detail appears in the dedicated subpages.

⭐ A. The Northeast Inland Refuge Corridor (U.S.)

Your corridor — Saco River → Conway → White Mountains → St. Johnsbury → Champlain → St. Lawrence. Backed by mountains, fed by rivers, historically a refuge region.

⭐ B. The Appalachian Spine (U.S.)

From Georgia → Tennessee → Kentucky → Virginia → West Virginia → interior Pennsylvania. Often a sheltering chain in American history.

⭐ C. The Ozark Arc (U.S.)

Missouri → Arkansas → Oklahoma → eastern Kansas. A historically recognized safe region with stable geology, high elevation, and strong faith culture.

⭐ D. The Central Highlands / Upper Midwest (U.S.)

Minnesota → Wisconsin → Michigan U.P. Cold, quiet, and comparatively stable — well suited for long-term refuge planting and community development.

⭐ E. The Inland Northwest Pockets (U.S.)

Idaho → Montana → Wyoming. High-elevation pockets with low population and strong remnant presence.

⭐ F. The Caribbean Refuge Belt (International)

Jamaica → Barbados → St. Lucia → Grenada → select parts of the Bahamas. Islands that historically have sheltered people during continental upheaval and can serve as training and recovery zones.

⭐ G. The Mountain Ring (Global)

Patterns found in:

  • Andes,
  • Alps valleys,
  • Ethiopian highlands,
  • Northern Thailand hills,
  • Caucasus regions — wherever mountains create pockets of refuge throughout history.

⭐ H. The Wilderness Corridors (Global)

Areas God has used to protect His people outside major empire zones — desert belts, forest bands, and rural corridors that historically shelter persecuted believers.

4. WHY THESE KINDS OF AREAS MATTER NOW

A. They are inland and shielded.

In many nations, coastal and highly concentrated urban zones are especially vulnerable to disruption, conflict, and rapid change.

B. They are elevated.

Elevation can reduce impact from certain kinds of flooding, storms, and conflict, and often preserves agriculture and infrastructure longer.

C. They preserve agricultural life.

Food systems anchored in local soil and water are critical when supply chains are strained. Rural and mid-mountain regions can carry this role in a unique way.

D. They hold spiritual inheritance.

God often remembers and honors places of previous awakening and covenant (for example, Micah 4:6–7), preserving them for future use.

E. They support migration corridors.

Refuge regions are reachable — people can move toward them without crossing insurmountable barriers or the most intense conflict zones.

F. They hold strategic future roles.

Training, healing, rebuilding, and leadership all require space, time, and stability. Regions of refuge exist so that these assignments can mature.

5. “HOW DO I KNOW IF I BELONG IN A REGION?”

This is one of the most important questions the remnant asks.

Here are some helpful discernment markers:

1. Your spirit feels peace when you consider it.
Peace is a primary compass for those led by the Spirit (Colossians 3:15).

2. Your current location begins to feel “tight.”
Sometimes the Holy Spirit loosens old anchors so we can follow His leading (Acts 8:1–4).

3. Circumstances begin shifting.
Jobs, relationships, desires, dreams, and opportunities start to realign.

4. God confirms through Scripture, dreams, or trusted voices.
He establishes direction “by the mouth of two or three witnesses” (2 Corinthians 13:1).

5. Provision begins to flow in that direction.
If God is calling you, He can supply what is needed in His time (Philippians 4:19).

6. Your assignment aligns with that region’s purpose.
Some regions are more suited to farming, some to training, some to worship and healing, some to sending.

7. You feel drawn — not pushed.
FOZI is not fear-based movement. It is assignment-based positioning. The Lord leads His sheep; He does not drive them like cattle (John 10:3–4).

6. WHAT THESE REGIONS PREPARE THE REMNANT FOR

The Regions of Refuge will increasingly become:

  • places of teaching,
  • gardens of peace,
  • centers of discipleship,
  • agricultural storehouses,
  • hubs for movement during crisis,
  • safe homes for children,
  • launch points for the last-day harvest.

These regions will both protect God’s people and prepare them to serve the nations.

Summary

Regions of Refuge are the broad, Spirit-marked geographic zones God is preparing so His remnant can relocate, rebuild, and shine during seasons of global shaking — not in fear, but in faith, obedience, and love.
