Founded in 1994 by Dr. Arthur Rouner, the Pilgrim Center is a non-profit, non-denominational ministry that administers and runs healing retreats both in the US and Africa. The organization oversees treatment centers for genocide victims in Rwanda, Burundi and the Congo, and supports similar programs in several East African nations. In this country, ministries in South Dakota and Minnesota serve some Native American populations. This is the group's headquarters.
