Issues: Refugee Resettlement

For over a half a century the Christian Reformed Church has worked with and ministered among refugees. 

We remember that just like the child Jesus and his parents, millions of men, women and children around the world must flee because of violence, racial tension, religious bigotry and natural disasters.  And we remember that God has much to say about welcoming in the stranger. 

With this understanding, we engage in the hands-on work of resettling and befriending refugees in Canada and United States, but we also know that we must speak up on behalf of refugees to work for just policies.
