Immigrant families are living in fear across the U.S. People are being punished for seeking safety, many of whom have fled war, persecution and violence. Our hearts ache and our bodies fatigue as we witness the storm of suffering across our community, our country and the world. And yet — we hold onto Hope.
Together with you, World Relief is boldly responding, inspired by the audacious belief that human flourishing is possible — even in the midst of chaos and devastation.
This holiday season, we remember that when storms rage, Jesus shows up, bringing light, peace and hope in the midst of urgent need. He comes alongside us so that together, we can come alongside others.
Let us embody the love, peace and light of Christ this season.

Together, we can make Western Washington some of the most welcoming communities on the planet. Will you join us?
Seeing what World Relief was doing, I thought — thank God something is happening. There is still goodness in the world. World Relief is changing lives.
