Holy Comforter serves displaced people living in our community through the Refugee Ministry, begun in 2021 when thousands of Afghans arrived in America. At that time, we embraced Jesus’ call to welcome the stranger by reaching out to support two Afghan families and, later, an unaccompanied Afghan youth. Since then, our mission has expanded to included four more families. Thanks to donations of time, items, and funds, we have helped them find and furnish homes, provided used cars, and assisted in a myriad of other ways. We have been blessed to get to know these individuals through accompanying them on appointments to doctors and dentists, helping with schooling, job hunting and legal issues, and sharing meals. And most recently we rejoiced in the birth of a baby boy and are now awaiting the birth of two more babies, one in June and one in July. These families are our friends. |
