San Diego resettles refugees from all over the world including approximately 1,500 from Afghanistan
All through the Bible, God calls his people to love and serve the vulnerable immigrants and refugees who live among us and who arrive on our doorstep.
Just 7 miles away from Harbor City Church, the number of people arriving at our southern border seeking safety is overwhelming our government and creating a humanitarian crisis, especially for children and families.
The men, women and children living here without documents are regularly exposed to exploitation, danger and injustice.
Afghan refugees escaped horrifying danger, leaving behind home, extended family, language and way of life; and who made it through the obstacle course of US immigration only to land in one of the most fast-paced, expensive cities in the US with severely limited financial resources and few job prospects.
Join us in praying for Refugees & Immigrants
That God would shape our hearts to love immigrants & refugees as He does
That God would give us opportunities to serve and the wisdom and courage to follow through on them
For Hope for San Diego, who serves many refugee families and works to connect local churches to serve as well.
For San Diego Refugee Tutoring and the work they do to help refugee kids do well in school so they can grow up to succeed in this country and break cycles of poverty in their families.
For David’s Harp and Servant Church— both of whom serve a community where immigration status can be complicated and decisions are difficult.
Join us in praying for World Relief
Praise - 2 years ago World Relief didn't exist in San Diego, this year they served over 1,600 refugees through 161 volunteers in ongoing opportunities from 24 local churches and are continuing to expand.
Request - World Relief wants to hire an Attorney and Advocate to expand services to more diverse clientele. Educational luncheons and 2-day border trips are starting for church leaders—pray for a massive response from churches to become regularly involved.
