Refugee Ministry 101 Workshop

Arizona has welcomed more than 100,000 refugees--vetted survivors of war and persecution--from all over the world since 1980, and they're here to stay. Come learn how this all works and how you can best love these new neighbors as they do the hard work of integrating into American society.
