Give at https://waterforishmael.kindful.com/

2021 is almost gone! Will you help immigrant, refugee and Afghan families begin the New Year with the support of Christian friends? Your gift now will mean that an immigrant will loved through expressions of welcome and hospitality. 

Liza is an immigrant who needs a Christian friend.   Click here to hear more about my new friend, Liza.

The Asad family left their lives in Afghanistan in a matter of a few days.  They need friends to welcome them. Friends to help them start a new life that will be so very different than their lives in Afghanistan.

Liza and the Asads are seen, known, and loved by God.  You can help them experience that truth through people who are followers of Jesus. 

Your gift will bring someone alongside Liza and the Asad family and so many like them – someone who will be a friend to help them to build their new life in America.

Will you give today to help an immigrant, refugee, or international student?

God bless you,

Andy Langdon
Hospitality Director

PS  All gifts given by midnight will be matched up to $25,700.  That means your gift multiplied! You can help every international have a Christian friend.
