Why Belonging Matters
Walk with immigrant families this season

When the world was dark. When the storm raged. Jesus came alongside us, bringing light, peace and hope in the midst of urgent need. Today, as we witness the weight of our current moment, we see a world aching for faithful followers of Christ to walk in his footsteps.

In the face of protections being stripped away from our immigrant neighbors and community members, family separation and SNAP cuts, you can demonstrate the love of Immanuel, God with us, to those caught in yet another crisis. With the refugees and other immigrants in our own community who have been displaced by persecution, violence and conflict, the need is great. But the hope of Jesus is alive, and you can make a difference.

    Decades of compassionate welcome

    For more than 45 years, World Relief Chicagoland have partnered with the church to help refugees and other immigrants in the U.S. We’ve walked alongside over 400,000 of them as they rebuilt their lives after being forced to flee their homes.

    Mawi's Journey from Refugee to Community Builder

    Over forty years ago, Mawi Asgedom and his family arrived in Chicagoland as refugees from Ethiopia. As they adapted their skills and built a new foundation for their future, local churches, volunteers, and people like you stepped up to welcome and support them.

    Today, Mawi is an author, speaker, entrepreneur, and a leading voice for youth success — partnering with over 1,000 school districts to help millions of kids unlock their potential.

    Join the Journey of Hope

    Like Advent candles lit one by one, each act of generosity pushes back the darkness. Your gift reflects God’s love, reminding families who feel forgotten that they are not alone.

    This season, will you join the journey?
