The Alazaweys are doing well... still looking for jobs but they are in good spirits.
Team
We would still like to try to create more structure around our care for them. If you are interested in being part of the "Refugee Ministry Team" please email alliemangin@gmail.com. Our hope for this team is to be a group that is gathering once a month to pray for this family, the ministry, and the needs of our community. Get on board!
Volunteers
We still need people to help tutor and visit the Alazwey family. Their English is getting much better and they are a delight to be with. There is also a great need for someone to help Mahmood (the father) apply for jobs. Contact kaylanicole111@yahoo.com if you are interested.
