World Refugee Sunday is celebrated annually by the Refugee Highway Partnership in cooperation with the World Evangelical Alliance. There are over 45 million forcibly displaced people around the world. Refugees seek protection and acceptance to build their life, but in reality they often experience social exclusion, largely by being ignored, marginalized or barred by country borders.
World Refugee Sunday is an opportunity for you to join churches around the world in praying for refugees and forcibly displaced people. We invite you to participate through your remembrance and prayers on behalf of those forcibly displaced by war, violence, persecution, and oppression in our world.
