Sydney Refugee Team
Globally we face a refugee crisis – nearly every continent is experiencing mass movements of desperate people who find themselves forcibly uprooted, lonely and frightened
Millions end up in massive camps, while others simply get lost amongst the statistics of displaced people. They are often thrown into a lifestyle of welfare and dependency where hope and purpose are seldom found.
The Sydney Refugee Team exists to see Christians across Sydney and beyond see refugees step into a relationship with Jesus Christ, giving them true hope for the future.
The team works to welcome, equip and integrate forcibly displaced people arriving in Australia by empowering them towards a bright and sustainable future. Our heart is to demonstrate unconditional love, compassionate justice and total acceptance to each individual.
