THE NEED

Displaced but Not Forgotten

Thousands of refugees arrive in Italy each year, fleeing conflict, persecution, and poverty. Far from home, many feel isolated, unwanted, and invisible. Without support, they struggle to find belonging or stability, often carrying trauma that goes unseen. For too many, both physical needs and spiritual hope remain unmet.

THE APPROACH

Meeting Needs, Sharing Christ

Local believers are walking with refugees in practical and relational ways. From language help to meals, from friendship to discipleship, these acts of compassion create space for the gospel to take root. Refugees are being welcomed into community, finding dignity in Christ, and discovering the hope of a God who has not abandoned them.

THE DIFFERENCE

From Strangers to Family

Refugees who once felt invisible are finding belonging. Through friendships with believers, many are encountering Jesus for the first time. Some have come to faith, others are exploring the gospel, and all are experiencing love that reflects the heart of Christ.

What began as survival is becoming a story of restoration.

THE INVITATION

Be Part of Their Welcome

When you give, you provide more than aid - you offer belonging. Your support equips local believers to meet urgent needs, build lasting relationships, and plant seeds of the gospel among those God has brought to their door. Together, we can do whatever it takes to serve the displaced and see Christ known among the nations.
