Refugee Resettlement Project
We are called to welcome the stranger. With the arrival of several thousand refugees from Afghanistan* and lesser numbers from other countries to Houston, there is a strong need to provide such welcome. Covenant will be sponsoring a refugee family in partnership with Interfaith Ministries’ Refugee Services. In addition to setting up the family’s apartment with donated furnishings, welcoming them to Houston, and orienting them to our city and its resources, we will be providing limited financial support to help cover costs such as rent, bedding, and groceries.
*We have asked to be paired with an Afghan family, but will be glad to sponsor a family in need from another country.
