Our church has recently started helping out with the Refugee Empowerment Program in Memphis. Many families from Burundi, Sudan, Somalia and the Congo are brought to the U.S. by the UN and Catholic Charities to escape the oppression in their countries. REP works to address the needs of the most under resourced people through education, leadership development, community building, cultural adjustment, and spiritual enrichment. Our small group has been paired with a family to help them make the adjustment. We are very excited to be able to help and to get to know them!
