Biography

Exodus World Service transforms the lives of refugees and volunteers. They educate churches about refugee ministry, connect volunteers with newly arriving refugees through practical service projects, and equip leaders to speak up on behalf of refugees. The end result is that wounded hearts are healed, loneliness is replaced with companionship, and fear is transformed into hope.

Notes

Exodus World Service offers many programs and services for refugees and for volunteers to get involved. One such program is their Welcome to America program.

Refugees leave behind friends, family and possessions when they escape persecution. They bring with them little more than the clothes they are wearing and a few personal belongings.

Through the Welcome to America! Pack program, you can provide a warm welcome for one of these courageous families when they arrive in our community. Turn their first apartment into a home by collecting and delivering all of the basic household items needed for the bedroom, bathroom and kitchen and a first month’s supply of food staples.

This volunteer opportunity is is good for families and groups of all sizes. Exodus also offers a range of educational opportunities for a group to help understand the refugee crisis before jumping into a larger service project. More information on all their programs is available from their web site.
