Seeking Refuge: On the Shores of the Global Refugee Crisis<\/a>, by Stephan Bauman et al. Moody Publishers, 2016, 224 pages.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can\u2019t ignore the refugee crisis… but how do we even begin to respond to something so massive and complex?\u201d Here three World Relief leaders draw from their own experience and extensive research to lay a foundation for understanding, answer key questions American Christians have, and describe ways to respond to refugees coming to America.<\/p>\n

Though parts of this book feel like an infomercial for World Relief, the agency does offer a great deal of experience and many helpful resources to those with whom they partner. Visit their website<\/a> for information about forming a \u201cGood Neighbor Team\u201d at your local church to welcome and walk alongside a newly arrived refugee family in your community, put together welcome kits, and more. You can also download a free Church Leader\u2019s Tool Kit on the Syrian Refugee Crisis.<\/a><\/p>\n
