Amen, Heidy. My husband and I worked with a refugee family a few years back, and it was a wonderful experience. We went to their apartment once a week, helped them acclimate, took them to doctors, and became friends. Thankfully, they are doing well to this day. Refugees wait an average of 17 years (I think that's accurate - heard it in church a couple weeks ago) many times in awful conditions. My husband worked for World Relief for 8 years, so we are well aware of the misinformation about refugees. I pray that many will read your article and reassess their views of refugees.
So helpful, friend! Thank you for being an advocate and sharing the information!
