Who is a refugee?

A person who has been forced to leave their country in order to escape war, persecution, or natural disaster and has crossed an international border to find safety in another country.

The Problem

110 MILLION displaced people

Today there are an estimated

in the world, almost half of whom are children. These people have been forcibly displaced worldwide as a result of ongoing conflicts and crises, which make them unable to return home. Their homes, families, and communities have been shattered leaving them in extremely vulnerable conditions, many without their basic needs being met. Those in refugee camps are stuck in confinement, likely to remain displaced for an average of 10-25 years, but some never make it out of the camps. As the number of vulnerable refugees rises, so does the need for urgent resettlement and support.

Our Solution

We will be an answer to one of the greatest humanitarian crises of our time. We will love our global refugee neighbors as our own by bringing an end to their waiting and confinement, by matching approved refugee families to one of our trained Neighbor Teams that will resettle them in their new homes and help them rebuild their lives. 

Form Neighbor Teams

We form groups of 5-10 people to welcome and resettle a vulnerable refugee family into their community.

Train and Equip 

We work with local churches and communities to effectively support newly resettled refugees, so they may rebuild their lives and thrive independently.

Aid in Crisis

We serve the vulnerable abroad as they flee for safety.

Reuniting Family Members

We help reunite family members separated by war and violence.

Advocating for Refugees

We are a voice for the vulnerable. We proclaim through our words and our work, Jesus’ clear and fierce call for the protection, love, and care for our global neighbors.

“When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself.”

— Leviticus 19:33-34

The Current State of Refugees

    Refugees arrive in the US legally and are thoroughly vetted and background-checked by the US government and the UNHCR.

  • 95% of Needs Unmet

    At present, 95% of refugee resettlement needs are unmet, meaning these people are extremely vulnerable and in need of urgent aid.

  • 43.3 million

    Children displaced in the world right now and are in need of protection and a home.

  • 10 years

    This is the average time a refugee waits as a refugee.

It is never a crime to run for your life and seek asylum in another country as enshrined in Article 14 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Why Can’t Refugees Go Home?

“

When war throws your life into chaos, it’s not as simple as just going home. One example of this is Syria,  one of the most dangerous places to be a child in the world today.

Children have lost lives and limbs in more than six years of conflict. They have lost classrooms and teachers, brothers and sisters, playgrounds and homes. An estimated 6 million children are in need of humanitarian support. Those in besieged areas remain at high risk of malnutrition and others lack access to clean water, education and childhood vaccinations. Those who stay in Syria risk starvation and disease and children as young as seven are being recruited by armed forces and groups. Children have tried to escape from starvation in besieged towns, only to be shot by snipers or killed in minefields. Sexual violence has been used as a weapon of war, and children have been abducted, arrested at their schools, detained in ‘security centres’ and tortured into confessions.These are not the atrocities of long-past wars, of history books or period films.These are things happening to children right now, and our response will be judged in the history books of the next generation.
