Mobilizing Local Churches

For over 40 years, World Relief Western Washington has been equipping local churches to walk alongside refugees and immigrants. We believe that something wholly unique and special happens when faith communities unite to stand with people in vulnerable situations—offering their talents, resources and time to the work of welcome.

 

"Church health can’t be defined by attendance or budgets alone. Rather, by how well our congregation is loving their neighbors and coming alongside the most vulnerable in our community and around the world. As a partner, World Relief has played an important role in equipping and mobilizing our church to step into the lives of the vulnerable both here and around the world."

– Nathan Nelson, Missions Pastor at Bethany Community Church

Host a Welcome Kit Drive

Refugees and asylees often flee their homes at a moment’s notice. They arrive here with few belongings, and high hopes for the future. Welcome Kits provide the basic need items they need as they begin their journey in a community. You can rally your church to host a Welcome Kit drive.

Launch a Volunteer Team

World Relief provides refugees and asylees with resettlement assistance that includes housing, employment services, community orientation, and immigration services. But we cannot do it alone. We depend heavily on volunteer and church support, both financially and in practical ways.

World Relief is a global Christian humanitarian organization whose mission is to boldly engage the world’s greatest crises in partnership with the church. The organization was founded in the aftermath of World War II to respond to the urgent humanitarian needs of war-torn Europe.

Since then, for 80 years, across 100 countries, World Relief has partnered with local churches and communities to build a world where families thrive and communities flourish. Today, organizational programming focuses on humanitarian and disaster response, as well as community strengthening and resilience.

World Relief is both an equal opportunity employer and a faith-based religious organization. World Relief strictly prohibits and does not tolerate unlawful discrimination against employees on the basis of person’s race, color, sex, national origin, age, disability, genetic information, or any other characteristic protected under applicable federal, state, or local law, which does not conflict with the protections afforded World Relief as a faith-based employer.
