“But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.” — 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 #verseoftheday #bibleverse #scripture

??At World Relief Wisconsin, building a welcoming village begins with a shared bond that connects neighbors and fosters a sense of belonging. Our village is more than just a place. It’s a community shaped by stories of faith, compassion and resilience. Refugees and immigrants from around the world have found the safety, friendship and support they need to begin anew in Wisconsin. We walk alongside newcomers on their journey and encourage others in our village to do the same. Together, we have shown that hospitality is an act of faith, community is built through shared service and transformation happens when love thy neighbor transcends borders.

?Even as we continue to navigate changing policies and terminated contracts, we remain so proud of our success in welcoming refugees to Wisconsin. Today, we invite you to celebrate our faithful village with us as we share our 2024 annual report.

“When I said, ‘My foot is slipping,’ your unfailing love, LORD, supported me. When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought me joy.” — Psalm 94:18-19 #verseoftheday #bibleverse #scripture

With last week’s notice from the Department of State and January’s executive order on refugee resettlement, we wanted to provide a quick update on where things stand now. For 45 years, World Relief has partnered with the U.S. government to welcome refugees. But the new notice now terminates that agreement with the Department of State. Swipe through the slides for a detailed breakdown of what the executive order and new notice mean now. We believe in standing for welcome, showing Christ’s love and advocating for refugees and other immigrants in vulnerable situations. As the first evangelical Christian organization authorized to welcome refugees in the U.S., World Relief was here at the beginning. We are here now. And we will continue to be here so that every individual and family has the opportunity to flourish in their communities. You can help too. ??

“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” — Isaiah 41:10 #verseoftheday #bibleverse #scripture
