Refugees from Iraqi have been displaced by the war and are “unable to return to Iraq safely or to settle permanently in the countries to which they have fled.

Bethany Christian Services is resettling some of these refugees in the Tri-Cities area and each family is adopted by a local church.

As a church, we locate housing and household items for the family before they arrive and offer assistance in acclimating to the U.S. during the family’s first six months.

Imagine what kind of help you would want if you moved to a new country:

• Finding and furnishing an apartment/home in Grand Haven
• Exploring job leads, preparing a resume, practicing for interviews
• Learning how to open a bank account, write checks, pay bills
• Visiting the library and using the resources there
• Studying for a driver’s license
• Helping with English tutoring one-on-one
• Driving family members to doctor appointments, social services appointments, grocery shopping, etc.
• Helping with cultural adjustment and learning to live in America
