How to get involved

Want to get involved with Mission Georgia efforts towards saving refugees throughout Georgia? Get started below:

Step 1

Meet an international family at a park near their home and share a picnic. Fruit, flatbread, grilled chicken, rice, fruit drinks and coffee are enjoyed by most cultures. Bring hot sauce for the side, and don’t forget some sweets!

Step 2

Help fill out paperwork related to a job search, school enrollment and other services they need

Step 3

Meet with school admins to find ways your church can help international students and their families

Step 4

Your church can collect winter coats and seasonally-appropriate clothes for refugee families

Step 5

Meet with a refugee ministry to learn about ways you can serve with them to support international families

0%

In 2019, 79% of refugees fleeing to the United States were Christians.

Although Georgia has seen a drastic reduction of the number of refugees resettled in recent years, many remain, along with immigrant families and individuals. Learn about steps you can take to REACH THE NATIONS, RIGHT HERE IN GEORGIA.

MYTH

Contrary to long standing myths, refugees bring a love of community, hard work and humility.

REALITY

They have overcome horrific circumstances and live each day as families, students, entrepreneurs and church members – eagerly working to honor the nation that has taken them in.

  • Refugees may be placed in a city where they have relatives or friends, or where there’s an established community that shares their language or culture. Other considerations include the cost of living and a community’s ability to provide medical services. However, as documented U.S. residents, refugees may live in any city and state they choose. View Source
