They need me to ask, ‘How can I help you? What can I do?’ One way I can do that is by giving to the Vision Fund.” “Serving refugees in Greensboro gave me a desire to seek out opportunities to serve refugees and internationals in my community. It was a reminder that we can share Christ with the world in our own backyard.” Is your missions passion supporting the ministry of WMU?
