Compelled by the love of Christ, we are responding to an urgent need.

Afghan refugees living in Pakistan are being forced to return to Afghanistan, where those who assisted U.S. troops face the threat of death. Many of these individuals hold special visas that allow them to be admitted to the United States, but the window for their admission is closing soon.

Working through World Relief, we have been matched with a refugee family that arrived on March 15. Under the guidance of our deacons, we are organizing efforts to welcome and support them. Here's how you can help:

Pray for their Adjustment. The family has to rapidly acclimate to a very different culture. The children need to master a new language. Life here can feel scary and stressful. Pray for their peace.

Help us with Housing Leads.  The family is temporarily staying in an Airbnb, but  will soon begin searching for permanent housing. They are a family of five: a father and four children. They prefer to live in a neighborhood with an existing Afghan immigrant community and with ready access to public transportation, but we are open to all possibilities. Due to their lack of U.S. employment and credit history, we welcome direct contact with understanding landlords. Please use the button below to let us know of contacts.

Help us with Employment Leads. The father has experience working as a carpenter on a military base. If you can offer employment or provide leads to a suitable job, please use the button below to let us know.

Provide Additional Assistance. Please Use the button below if you are able to offer transportation to appointments, donate needed items, or provide any other forms of support.
