True transformation happens through relationships. A Good Neighbor Team (GNT) is a group of 5-12 people who are passionate about showing the love of Jesus to the refugee and immigrant community here in the Triad area. A GNT is partnered with a refugee or immigrant family for a minimum of 6 months and works to assist World Relief Triad staff with various aspects of the resettlement or integration process through at least weekly interactions. A GNT is often a pre-existing small group or community group from a local Church; however, a GNT can also be any group of people that come together out of their passion for loving their neighbors.

Home Set-up Teams (HSTs) offer churches or small groups a way to welcome and support refugees, immigrants and survivors as they arrive in the Triad. HSTs engage their church and community to help gather material needs for a home, then prepare, and setup the homes for a family of newcomers. Teams commit to sponsoring between 1-4 home preparations within a year. The HST and World Relief will agree on a two-month window in which the home setup will happen. As that time gets closer the team starts to gather items and once there is a newcomer family with housing secured, World Relief and the HST will decide on a final set up date. This is a great hands on service project for a group that also provides opportunity to engage the wider church and community in gathering items to bless a family who is starting over.
