Global Reach

 

World Relief is a global Christian humanitarian organization whose mission is to boldly engage the world's greatest crises in partnership with the church. We envision thriving, welcoming communities where families flourish, and people experience restorative relationships with God, their neighbors, themselves, and all creation. World Relief’s work in the United States, specifically, focuses on helping refugees and other immigrants in vulnerable situations rebuild their lives in a new country.

Local Impact

 

At World Relief Baltimore, we come alongside refugees and other immigrants in vulnerable situations as they rebuild their lives in the United States. For over 20 years, World Relief has been welcoming immigrants and refugees across the United States.

Since 2004, World Relief Baltimore has been offering immigration legal services, originally as the service arm of the home office. But by a change in office status to a field office in 2021, the Baltimore office now offers a broader range of services to immigrants in a wider variety of situations. In 2024 we have added refugee resettlement services.

Today, World Relief Baltimore Immigrant Services is part of a national network of offices through which over 400,000 immigrants and refugees have been welcomed into this country.

Church Centered

Working with the local church is not only a good strategy, it's at the very heart of our work. We believe that God gave us a plan to save our broken world, and that it begins with his church, and his people, leading the way. We want to see local churches creating and leading change in their communities.

We believe in transformation of the whole person mind, body and spirit. That's why our programs focus on addressing the root causes of poverty, vulnerability and injustice. Beyond physical change, we focus on driving mental, social and spiritual transformation.

Sustainable

We understand that lasting change requires more than quick fixes and band-aid solutions. We prioritize the leadership and participation of those we serve, whether people, churches or local institutions, as critical to creating and sustaining change. Many of our staff are immigrants themselves and have a deep understanding of the challenges our clients face.
