Below is a flow chart on the process of befriending an Afghan refugee family. We are asking people to go through a couple of trainings as a part of the process. Current training schedules listed at right with more to be added later.

ARE YOU CONNECTED TO A FAMILY YET?

If we’ve not connected you yet we will as soon as we can.

There are two trainings; Cultural Considerations and Sharing Your Faith with Your Muslim Frieends (times at right). We will connect you with a family as soon as we are able. In the meantime, you may wish to check out Hearts for Sale by Farzana Marie. (Not a Christian book, but helpful insights into Afghan culture.
