Being responsive when God opens doors with refugees

Leisa McDonald of Matthew House shares how God provided information and opportunity, step by step, following God’s leading, to reach refugees who have landed here locally. “We are working with the Afghan community as well as other families that we’ve been supporting prior to that, we do language programs for adults and tutoring programs for children; those are opportunities for people to step into to get involved.” Leisa continues, “We’re serving breakfast, lunch and dinner.
