We need you to be the fuel for a national movement of churches engaging this missional opportunity
Raise $150,000 by June 30th to mobilize 100 churches
Right now, there's a growing number of churches eager to show and share the love of Jesus with refugees and vulnerable immigrants in their community. Help multiply their impact.
June 20th is World Refugee Day. $150,000 will help hundreds more churches by this Fall in cities across the United States receive access to expert training and support for them to create welcome and belonging for their immigrant neighbors.
The Churches of Welcome team has been hard at work, equipping churches both missionally and practically to be the hands and feet of Jesus. Dozens of churches are already escaping the paralysis of cultural polarization and are on a robust discipleship journey to faithfully engage the refugee & immigration crisis.
Your partnership will help see that cities like Atlanta, Houston, Phoenix, Philadelphia, the Bay Area, Nashville, Des Moines and including your own, has a growing network of churches that:
- Learn to welcome biblically and share Jesus faithfully
- Raise up missional leaders that are globally minded
- Multiply small groups that come alongside vulnerable immigrants
- Start practical ministries such as ESL, youth mentoring, and citizenship tutoring
This is the time to lean into our calling to be the church — to help those experiencing extreme vulnerability.
But we cannot do this without you. Will you help by giving today?
When 358 churches give:
$20,000
$10,000
$5,000
At least 50 more churches can be equipped in more cities, so that the local narratives of Christians loving their neighbor can overcome the stories of division and fear. Help churches start life-changing ministry such as ESL, youth mentoring, and citizenship tutoring.
More churches will be trained and supported to sponsor Afghans with Special Immigrant Visas, or to walk alongside newly arrived refugees in Jesus’ name as they restart their lives. Be a part of the Body of Christ that transforms the life of a vulnerable immigrant family.
More churches led by immigrant pastors or former refugees will have support and coaching from our team of experts to help them navigate the fear and complexity many are facing in their community. Create belonging that will impact a new generation of the church that’s arrived from around the world.
We're praying that by June 30th, at least 20 churches will give either by,
- church or missions budget
- special offering
- or inviting members to give directly
