Refugee Settlement
Have you ever wanted to make a difference but thought “What can one person do?”.
In 2015, in response to the huge wave of refugees caused by the war in Syria, Calvary began sponsoring Syrian families to come to Canada. The settlement of refugees aligns with God’s heart and we’ve seen His abundant provision. We have made a difference in the lives of 35 refugees…so far! Please pray for our committee, the refugees we have helped settle and for the safety & provision of refugees across the world.
DONATE
In order to protect refugees who arrive in Canada, the government is now requiring sponsors to raise funds in advance, prior to the application even being submitted. Application approvals can take 3-4 years. If you share our heart for refugees and would like to contribute financially, there are several venues to donate to the Calvary Refugee Fund.
