Through a partnership with World Renew (formerly CRWRC) Willoughby Church plans to welcome a refugee family to Langley, maybe even as soon as the beginning of 2013. World Renew is a Private Sponsorship Agreement holder with the Canadian government which means our church will be the private sponsor of the family that arrives. Our role will be assisting the family as they transition to a new culture, through financial, relational, and communal support.
On the advice of Council, a committee has been formed to arrange the logistics for the family's arrival as well as organize and prepare volunteers from our church. We look forward to a mutually enriching relationship and want to ask the congregation to begin praying for the mother, father, sons, and/or daughters who will arrive, that the Lord will already be watching over this family as they prepare for this major life change.
