About Team

About Refugee Churches Team

Thousands of refugees from multiple countries enter our host country each year. Our team engages these refugees with the gospel alongside local partners in their host communities. Numerous cities around the country have established churches or Bible study groups, which effectively share the gospel and make disciples. While the number of churches is small compared to the country’s population, believers here have an excellent opportunity to share the gospel with refugees who are navigating huge life transitions. These refugees eventually settle in far-flung locations worldwide, and many who receive the good news then share it with others in their home country.

Fewer than 1% of the people in these refugees’ home country knows salvation through Christ. With that in mind, we partner with local believers who produce social media content to flood the home country with Scripture and biblical resources. All these efforts lead to follow-up discussions, classes, and even week-long trainings.

Your gift will advance these efforts in both our host country and the refugees’ home country by developing pastors and lay leaders to join us in leading the work. Likewise, church member conferences encourage believers to be the best disciples possible while supporting the local church’s work. Your partnership with our team offers the refugees hope in a difficult situation and spreads the gospel quickly among a transient population.

Support Specific Opportunities

Gifts toward specific efforts show us what you are excited about. Occasionally, we may redeploy gifts as we follow God's leading with urgent opportunities or changing international contexts. Any gifts received beyond the goal go toward a similar project or our team support.

Online Gospel Sharing Ministry

Effort Image

Your gift will produce social media ads that engage non-believers in chat discussions about Jesus, facilitate online meetings, and ultimately gather seekers into in-person gospel conversations. All these activities focus on sharing the gospel and developing new believers into healthy church members. More than 350,000 people are introduced to the gospel each year through this project, and thousands have become seekers or followers of Jesus!

We host celebrations, clubs, and meetings, and plan to establish a formal organization to engage with tour companies. Your gift to this project rent much-needed space and enable us to manage the organization effectively.

A variety of projects each year join Central Asian believers with Western partners in week-long activities, forging partnerships for stronger disciples and healthy churches, and expanding the possibilities for future ministry. Your gift will develop partnership projects that develop connections between Western partners and Central Asian believers as a valuable part of our work that multiplies discipleship beyond the limitations of our team.

Biblical Resources for Churches

Effort Image

Biblical resources are available in refugees’ native language, allowing for believers to study Scripture, but they are limited. Church facilities and leaders often lack helpful aids for worship and learning. This project will allow resources to be translated, printed and distributed. Doctrinally sound biblical resources placed into believers' hands help us to build a lasting, healthy church.

New Church Relations

Effort Image

While we know that Central Asian refugee believers are gathering in churches or Bible studies throughout our host country, relationships with these groups are minimal. Over the next three years our strategic plan is to confirm the groups exist, develop relationships with them and consider what growth opportunities they might need. Site visits to these locations are an effective way to see progress and build relationships.

Humanitarian Aid to Refugees

Effort Image

The thousands of refugees who live in our host country struggle with limited resources, strict rules on work, and unwelcoming neighbors. We partner with churches to help refugees obtain much needed medicine, food and shelter. One hundred percent of funds given here go directly to these refugees.

Expanding the Gospel’s Reach

Effort Image

Our work results in a lot of travel as we seek to share the gospel, disciple new believers, nurture churches, and develop leaders. Your gift helps us get to the people who most need the gospel and discipleship. It also enables us to attend trainings so we can grow in the missionary task ourselves by sharpening personal skills, biblical knowledge, and application.
