What Church Leaders Are Saying

Kelvin Walker

Metro District of the Christian & Missionary Alliance


Churches of Welcome gives us the opportunity to do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with an often overlooked group of people that are clearly close to the heart of the Father - refugees. I am thankful for the work of World Relief and look forward to partnering with them in this important work.

Rosilio Román

Christian & Missionary Alliance


The Churches of Welcome initiative gives our U.S. Alliance family a wonderful opportunity to show God's love to families often overlooked and underserved. I encourage everyone to partner with World Relief in this ministry to serve and reach as many as possible.

Rev. Cricket Denton

Haddonfield United Methodist Church


Our church had the incredible privilege of partnering with Churches of Welcome to help resettle a refugee family from Colombia. The most beautiful part has been watching their three children build friendships with the kids in our church—playing together, learning together, and showing us all what true hospitality looks like. Through Churches of Welcome...we are building a family of faith that knows no borders.

Melody Joy Peace Slaton

Sugarland Baptist Church, TX


As a mission pastor, I've never had a team more excited about engaging in ministry as they are with our Good Neighbor Team. The enthusiasm has been contagious, and now other church members beyond the team have been volunteering with the team and with refugee focused ministries in the area!
