Afghan Refugee Crisis: How Can We Help?

Strength to Strength welcomed four brothers to discuss the refugee flow from Afghanistan.

There are urgent and long-term opportunities to provide physical, emotional, and spiritual support to needy people-groups arriving at our doorsteps.

Join us as we explore ways to help immigrants in our communities arriving from Afghanistan. How can we offer assistance to the most needy among us?

I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.

Matthew 25:35 NKJV
