So while working for another nonprofit organization, I had a boss that used to say, “We are not in it for the money, but if we don’t have money, we aren’t in it.” I smiled but it’s true.
It is in every IAFR person’s job description at IAFR, from the President to the office team to leaders and workers in refugee locations around the world. We tell stories, communicate the needs, share what God is doing around the world and invite people, churches, and other organizations to partner with us through their prayers, resources, and time. We could not do what we do without their generosity.
So as I start this week, I am excited, encouraged, and grateful for a generous grant that was provided to our Jonathan House ministry based in Minneapolis/St. Paul. Jonathan House provides housing for those who have been forcibly displaced and are now seeking asylum here in the U.S.
I am thankful for generous hearts, not only who give large grants, but for so many who give regularly each month to make sure the people of IAFR are able to continue their work of impacting refugees around the world.
