Friend of Refugees

This month, if you remember, is kind of a hodge-podge of highlighting needs in one's own community.  Also, if you remember, I have this side gig....

I have mentioned Pam before in passing, but you have no idea how much I owe her for what I am able to do.  Years ago, our church decided to sponsor a refugee family after my  "boss" came to speak about sponsorship (this all predates our days at CCUMC).  Pam took the reins on that, and fell in love.  She started seeing the needs of New Americans in the community, and just made this what she does. It's not a side gig for her.  It is her.

There are probably refugees, or at least people who are new to America, in your community.  They would love an American friend, I would venture to say.  It is difficult to communicate cross-culturally, but in my opinion, beyond rewarding.This kind of thing may not be up your alley, but I think you might find yourself inspired in some way by Pam.
