Afghan Refugee Outreach

Afghan Refugee Outreach

Sunday, February 13, 2022, 1:00 PM - 2:30 PM

Coordinator: Andrea Lewis |

We have an amazing opportunity to reach the unreached people of Afghanistan for Christ, as many Afghan refugees are beginning to settle in Westland and the surrounding area. We are looking for volunteers who would like to build friendships with these refugees with the aim of sharing the gospel and displaying the love of Christ by helping them with practical needs. We will provide resources and guidance at a training lunch on February 13th at 1pm. Please register below. Questions? please contact Andrea Lewis ( ). 

In addition, the church will be hosting a donation drive for Afghan refugees. These refugees have left their country with nothing, so they have many household needs. A detailed list of needed items is available at the Information Desk. Please donate items from this list only! Small items can be brought to the lobby the next three Sundays: January 30th, February 6th, February 13th, and larger items can be dropped off in the "Party Room" the next three Wednesdays from 4-6pm: January 26th, February 2nd, and February 9th. If you can help process these donations, please contact Lori Aldrich ( ).
