Relief and Refugee Fund
Thanks to a special matching gift, your donation to the Relief and Refugee fund can have twice the impact! The first $25,000 given in 2025 will be matched, doubling your ability to make a difference for people whose lives have been overturned by war.
Donations given to the Relief and Refugee fund are currently helping our partners in the Middle East minister to those impacted by recent conflict in the region. Through these gifts, local believers and cross-cultural workers have already been able to provide relief packages of food and hygiene items, gas stoves, mattresses, pillows, blankets and clothing to people who’ve been displaced.
This tangible expression of compassion is powerfully demonstrating God’s love and care in a predominantly Muslim area. One community member shared, “Thank you for your hospitality. Thank you for your support of our friends and families. Thank you for your efforts and the sacrifices you made to welcome the internally displaced with open hands and open hearts. In short, thank you for your compassion, your humanity and your support in our time of need.”
Additional funds raised will help our ministry partners offer financial aid to children affected by the conflict, enabling them to receive quality education, as well as provide workshops and training sessions to help members of the community process trauma and address other mental health consequences of war.
God often uses tragedy and chaos to draw people to faith in His Son. As Christar workers and national believers reach out in compassion to those impacted by conflicts and disasters, they often have abundant opportunities to share the good news and find that many are hungry for the hope found in Christ.
When disasters strike in areas where we serve, Christar workers swiftly respond with humanitarian aid such as food, water, clothing and blankets and, most importantly, the love of Christ. Your gift to the Christar Relief and Refugee Fund allows workers to partner with local believers to provide immediate aid, as well as offer services such as trauma counseling and educational programs that address refugees’ physical, emotional and spiritual needs.
