Refugees

A refugee is a person who has fled their country because of persecution, war or violence. In both the Old and New Testaments, God calls us to care for the vulnerable. The EFC supports World Refugee Sunday, an annual event each June, and facilitates a Refugee Resettlement working group (see its new Welcome the Stranger booklet or shorter frequently asked questions).
