Operation Refugee has got off to a good start – thanks to last year’s participants who have signed up again. Will you join this year’s challenge?

Operation Refugee

Seventeen-year-old Assef is showing us the lead in Jordan. Born a refugee, he is sharing his passion for robotics with his peers - other Syrian and Palestinian refugees.

Download the Operation Refugee Kete to find out how you can support refugees.

There are two streams of activity: Walk the Talk and Food for Life. We invite your church to plan a banquet, meal or walk to raise funds for refugees in Jordan and Lebanon.

A Bible Study is one new resource this year that explores some of the many references to refugees and strangers in Scripture.

When one person realised he could simply invite friends for dinner and ask them for a donation, he raised $250 and everyone had a good time.

Donations to Operation Refugee will fund work with Syrian, Palestinian and Iraqi refugees in Jordan and Lebanon. Money raised will fund emergency rations, education and medical care.
