REFUGEE SPONSORSHIP PROJECT

IMMEDIATE ACTION!

Our most recent family of 5 is waiting for final  documents .

They are being reunited with family already in Canada.

The family will bunk in with relatives while settling, however, a reasonably priced apartment is being looked for.


Refugees are financially supported by the congregation for a year. This time the sponsoring dollars are from the South Grey Parish in ON.


Resurrection is inviting people to participate in refugee resettlement.

In 2017 the Evangelical Lutheran Church of the Resurrection in Halifax, welcomed 12 Ethiopians via Nairobi, through Canada Lutheran World Relief. The 12 have were reunited with their sister (a member at Resurrection) and her family who  came a number of years before as refugees. The family is doing well!


Resurrection currently has a list of people wanting to make applications. It is necessary that we have the funds available before making applications (the money is put in trust via CLWR).  We look forward to welcoming  new families.


APPLICATIONS.



The congregation has a sponsorship list  representing 10 family groups (10 sponsorship undertakings). Currently these refugees are in Central Shimelba camp in Ethiopia and in Kalobeyei Village camp in Kenya. 


South Grey Lutheran Parish (ON) sponsored a family group of 6.  This parish supported the application financially and through prayer. Resurrection provided on the ground support when the family arrives.


If you are a congregation who would like to sponsor a family financially and have others welcome/resettle please feel free to email the church for details. 

CURRENT NEEDS–How your donations will be God’s love - in supporting new Canadian families.

SUPPORT FOR NEW FAMILIES

Ongoing support for new families after the first year of financial support continues with donations from the community; Walmart gift cards are most helpful.



NEW APPLICATIONS

Everyone who enters Canada as a refugee is given a basic monthly allowance and start up costs. The church provides this. The church funds a family project before the refugee application is made through our Sponsorship Agreement Holder, CLWR.  The money is held in trust for the family. Fundraising upfront ensures that money is available when the family arrives.
