WE PARTNER WITH THE REFUGEE RESETTLEMENT AGENCIES TO HELP FACILITATE PRACTICAL, TANGIBLE WAYS THAT FOLLOWERS OF JESUS CAN LOVE AND SERVE REFUGEES. VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES INCLUDE GROUP ADOPTION, FURNISHING AN APARTMENT, BABY SHOWERS, DELIVERING WELCOME BASKETS, DONATIONS AND VARIOUS SPECIAL EVENTS. THESE VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES ARE NUMEROUS AND MAKE A SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE IN REFUGEE FAMILIES AND THEIR ASSIMILATION TO LIFE IN AMERICA. THESE OPPORTUNITIES ALSO BRING TRANSFORMATION TO BIBLE STUDY GROUPS, SUNDAY SCHOOL CLASSES AND ENTIRE CHURCH CONGREGATIONS. Form 990-EZ, Part III, Line 28 THERE ARE NEW REFUGEE FAMILIES ARRIVING IN TUCSON EVERY WEEK THAT NEED HELP NAVIGATING IN THIS STRANGE, NEW COUNTRY. THE NATIONS ARE AT OUR DOORSTEP AND WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO LITERALLY WELCOME THE STRANGER AS WE GREET THEM, EMBRACE THEM AND COME ALONGSIDE THEM TO HELP AS THEY BUILD THEIR NEW LIVES.
