We would like to invite our Access community to HWR’s first-ever virtual refugee ministry fair! This online event on May 12 will be hosted by the Refugee Ministry Network of Houston, a collective of refugee ministries who pray together and encourage one another in our respective missions to welcome and care for refugees. At this virtual fair, attendees will have the opportunity to hear from FOUR different non-profits who provide volunteer opportunities to connect the Houston community with the refugees God is bringing to our amazing city.
