Our church has partnered with Bethany Christian Services and their refugee resettlement program. This program supports refugees relocating to Central Florida through the US Department of State. Together, we hope to help families to feel safe, loved, and connected as they settle into their new homes.
Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it. Hebrews 13:2
We welcome YOU to show hospitality to strangers who are beginning a new life in Central Florida!
This Advent season, our Angel Trees will support refugees relocating to Central Florida in 2025 through the US Department of State Refugee Admissions Program. Each ornament on the trees will feature a household item needed to prepare a home for a refugee family when they arrive. We invite you to choose 1 or more ornaments and give the item listed. Look for these angel trees at the entrances to worship, starting Sunday, December 1st, the first Sunday after Thanksgiving. Red bins will be available on Sunday mornings and throughout the week to drop off your unwrapped gift. Let’s come together to love our newest neighbors!
We’re living through the worst refugee crisis in world history. Across the globe, 108.4 million people have been forcibly displaced worldwide. Of these, 40% are children.
Coming to the U.S. as a refugee is the most difficult way to legally enter the country. Refugees undergo a more thorough vetting process than any other traveler to the United States.
Below are a few ways you can partner with this vital ministry and get started today!
Offer Housing:
Are you a landlord or realtor? Housing is an immediate need for families entering the US.
Provide Employment:
Are you a business owner, recruiter, or hiring professional? Refugees can play an influential role in your business. If you’re interested in employing adult workers who have recently resettled in the United States, contact us today!
Donate Household Items:
There’s a big gap between the stipend a refugee receives from the government and the cost of their actual needs. Consider donating today!
To get started today, please email Clay Mitchell at refugee@fumcwp.org
Below are opportunities that require application and approval through Bethany Christian Services.
Airport Greetings:
Join Bethany Christian Services staff to greet and welcome refugees coming to Central Florida.
Home Visits:
Visitations typically take about 30 minutes to check on the family, ask how they’re doing, or see if there’s anything we can help with at that time.
Provide Transportation:
Transportation is one of the biggest needs for many refugees. Refugees need help getting to medical appointments, government offices, grocery stores, their jobs, and more.
To learn more and to become an approved volunteer, please email Clay Mitchell at refugee@fumcwp.org
