Refugee Ministry 101 Workshop in Chandler

Arizona has welcomed more than 108,000 refugees--vetted survivors of war and persecution--from all over the world since 1980, and they're here to stay. These new neighbors come from places like Afghanistan, Burma, the DR Congo, Syria, and dozens of other countries. Come learn how this all works and how YOU can best love your refugee neighbors as they do the hard work of integrating into American society.

There's no obligation to volunteer afterward--just come and learn!
