The Opportunity Before Us
At World Relief, we believe that the local church is God's Plan A — His chosen instrument to bring hope, healing, and restoration in a broken world. We exist to come alongside the church in that calling, committing ourselves to mission-aligned, relational partnerships rooted in discipleship, mutuality, and shared purpose.
Partners Responds through
- Life-saving interventions in crisis
- Resiliency Building Program promoting flourishing
- Biblical Welcome for refugees and immigrants
Together, we can respond faithfully to this moment, sharing the whole gospel for the whole person and embracing God’s heart for those on the move.

Missional Partner

This partnership invites congregations to respond holistically to displacement, integrating generosity, service, and advocacy into the life of the church and forming believers who embrace God’s heart for those on the move.
Engagement Pathways
Give: Support the work of World Relief through annual, monthly, or multi-year commitments
Serve: Engage in opportunities locally and globally as capacity allows
Advocate: Join churches nationwide in advocating for just and compassionate policies
U.S. Partner
U.S. Partners live out biblical welcome and hospitality as they embrace friendship, generosity and faithful engagement. This partnership invites congregations to walk alongside refugees and immigrants in pursuit of multi-generational flourishing and is expressed through two routes, depending on geography:
Local Office Partnership

Serve: Participate in trips and relationship‑building with global teams as capacity allows

“Church health can’t be defined by attendance or budgets alone. Rather, by how well our congregation is loving their neighbors and coming alongside the most vulnerable in our community and around the world. As a partner, World Relief has played an important role in equipping and mobilizing our church to step into the lives of the vulnerable both here and around the world.”
– Nathan Nelson, Missions Pastor
