The What
We have the opportunity to respond to one of the greatest humanitarian crises of our time by assisting an Afghan family as they begin a new life in the United States, while sharing the love of Jesus through both word and deed. Live out the story of the Good Samaritan as we respond to one of the greatest humanitarian crises of our time. As a sponsor church, we take primary responsibility for welcoming newcomers to Gwinnett County while providing initial support and resources as they integrate into their new community.
The Who
Samaritan's Purse
The Afghan Resettlement Program, launched by Samaritan’s Purse, is part of a larger emergency response to welcome Afghan refugees in the United States.
