One of the favorite parts of my role is visiting our IAFR locations, scattered around the world and here in the U.S. During the visits, I am able to bring a listening ear, an encouraging word, good questions, and possibly some strategic thought.

Recently I was able to visit our location in the Northern Colorado, where Shanna, our NCO ministry leader, works with refugees from around the globe. Drawn to this rural community for the agricultural job opportunities, like working in a meat packing plant, the challenges are many as our resettled friends adjust to their new country.
After serving three years in this location, I am excited that Shanna and her family have committed for another 2 years. There are plenty of opportunities and a need for teammates to join this effort to help people survive and recover from their forced displacement…and the need to call the church into this space as well.
Today, I am off to Athens, Greece to visit with our newest partners. Stay tuned.
