Informing those who want to make a difference in the lives of refugees. |
||
There is power in knowledge and in community. Our mission is to share knowledge with a community that chooses to make a difference in the lives of refugees. With our plenty much can be done. 44 million men, women and children are forcibly displaced in our world.* They are hurting, scared, hungry, lost. Often, they are even ignored. The purpose of this site is to share information about the state of the refugee crisis in our country and our world with insight into how we can, together, make a positive difference. We will update the news, links and blog regularly to keep you informed. *Source: IAFR  Photo by Africa. Provided by FreeDigitalPhotos.net |
Email: RefugeeConnect@yahoo.com UPDATE: We've just returned from a trip to Italy where we had the opportunity to learn more about the efforts of local ministries and churches to improve the conditions of tens of thousands of refugees in that country (primarily from the Horn of Africa and Middle East). We have posted a trip report on the Mission Italy page and are adding to the blog posts regularly. How to Use this Site: There are many resources for information on the refugee crisis around the world. We provide links to some great resources on the Links page. Our goal here is to create a forum to share opportunities to serve refugees, and support ministries and organizations addressing this crisis around the globe. Check out the Serving Opportunities and Giving Opportunities to learn more. Your feedback and participation in dialogues on the News and Blog pages is greatly desired. Please email any serving and giving opportunities that support local or global efforts to care for refugees -- or complete the form on the Serving Opportunities page. We also would very much like to hear from you if you have stories to share about your work with refugee organizations/ministries or if you are a refugee who'd like to share your own story. |
