Children and Youth Resources
World Refugee Sunday (WRS) is an incredible opportunity for churches worldwide to show support and solidarity with the forcibly displaced men, women, and children. WRS is promoted by the Refugee Highway Partnership (RHP) and will be on Sundays, June 16th & 23rd (whichever works best for your local church).
Churches will unite around the world in prayer in an effort to remember the millions of forcibly displaced. The RHP is a community of Christians from around the globe who share a commitment to welcoming and serving refugees; and a desire to see the church more actively involved in serving the forcibly displaced people.
These displaced men, women, and children seek a safe place to end their journey and begin new lives in freedom and safety. Over the last 15+ plus years, WRS has served as a platform to highlight the stories of forcibly displaced people and mobilise the global Church to respond to their plight – as well as being a source of solidarity and encouragement to forcibly displaced people.
Refugees, asylum seekers, internally displaced people and migrants are complex topics for young people, but they can be easily understood if we help them to define the nature of displacement.
The theme of World Refugee Sunday 2023 is found in the book of Matthew, 25:35: "I was hungry, and you fed me."
We call on all, in particular Christians, to welcome in the strangers!
