| Refined By Fire Ministries, Inc. (RBF) was established in 1989 having been founded by Michael, Elain and Arianne Ellerbe. The organization was incorporated in 1995 as a non-profit organization with an initial mission to provide religious programming in adult and juvenile corrections facilities. In the past 16 years, the organization has seen its mission expand to now encompass a focus on re-entry activities to include pre-release and post-release life skills educational programs for those offenders approaching release dates and returning to their families and communities in which they will, hopefully, rebuild their lives as well as providing resources and services to families of the incarcerated.
