In 2005 there were almost 500 refugees resettled in Tucson, 2100 in the state of Arizona, and as many as 70,000 across the entire US. They come from countries like Africa, Iraq, Iran, and most recently Russia and Cuba. Some of them speak English. Most of them are Muslim. Many have lived through terrible trauma. All of them need to hear about the hope of Jesus and see His love in action.
Most refugees have suffered from terrible trauma. Add to that being moved to a new country with a totally foreign culture – away from family and anything familiar. Does that sound difficult?
A life group here at PCC is reaching out to love our new neighbors to Jesus. The Refugee Outreach Life Group is active in helping refugee families assimilate to life in the US. This includes simple activities like teaching them how to grocery shop, open a bank account, take them to appointments, help them learn English.
