It is a way in which God's gift to us can be shared with those seeking new life and renewed hope. Sponsorship is helping refugees become self sufficient, contributing members of their new communities by providing the resources they need to rebuild their lives in freedom and safety. It is also a tangible way that those in this country can translate into action their concern for their sisters and brothers in ravaged refugee situations. Many of these individuals have left behind family, friends, and livelihoods. They have had to brave atrocities and flee everything they hold dear, only to face new obstacles once they arrive in America.
Most refugees arrive with all of their possessions in one plastic bag or suitcase.
It takes many individuals to make a resettlement a success. If you would like more information on how your congregation or group can be a part of resettling a refugee family, please contact us at the phone numbers or email addresses below, or send a message using our Contact Us page.
