While persecution is on the rise, the total number of refugees resettled yearly in the U.S. has dropped. In 2016, according to the “Closed Doors” report, 32,248 refugees from countries on Open Doors’ World Watch were resettled in the United States. That number dropped to 11,528 in 2018 and then to 5,390 in 2020.
“There’s a tension here because you don’t want Ukrainians to feel like spiritual tourists who are just kind of roaming. They need to be a part of a community. They need to be a part of a group where they’re using their gifts and their talents and trying to impact lives.”
How can Christians help with the global refugee crisis? What responsibility is there to care for and serve refugees? And how can people get involved in practical ways in local communities?
