On March 3, two key leaders with Encompass World Partners did a webinar on the Refugee Crisis — a candid conversation on the refugee situation and what you can do about it. The session was recorded and is now available as a great resource on the refugee crisis.
The presenters were Alan Weisenberger and Bar Wooler.
Alan Weisenberger, principal of EnLumen Leadership Services and Encompass board member, cut through the media hype and set the record straight about the realities of the current refugee situation. He gave a helpful primer on who is really a refugee and the process they go through to get into the U.S. Alan concluded with how the scriptures have guided his personal perspective and involvement with refugees.
Barb Wooler, director of the Encompass Crisis Response Network, shared about the Refugee Crisis from her global interactions and how we can help. She recently returned from a scouting trip to Europe and told fresh stories to share from that adventure. She also shared some tools and opportunities for you and your church to make a difference.
Below are the replay and resource links:
