Christmas Resources
We would love for your church to take up a collection or offering over Christmas to support the work of Welcome Churches. As Christians together, we can offer a radically different response to the hostile narrative around refugees that we often read in the news.
Your church’s donations will help us to train and link up more local churches with newly-arrived refugees in their communities, to create helpful resources for refugees, and to find more homes willing to host people. In short, your giving over Christmas will make sure that more vulnerable people receive a warm welcome from a hospitable, compassionate church. We know that love and friendship will start to change the story for them.
