Asha’s Refuge seeks to share the love of Jesus with the nations through serving local refugees. Many of the clients we serve have never heard of Him and certainly do not understand anything about His message of hope. Struggling refugees arrive to Memphis with just the tattered clothes on their backs, a plastic bag from the UN with their legal documentation inside and a dangling sign around their neck that labels them as a refugee. They are eager and ready to start their lives anew in our city but have no idea of the additional challenges they are about to face in obtaining a successful resettlement. Their recognition of these unforeseen obstacles often causes them great stress, confusion, depression, anger, fear and anxiety.

There are many ways we can help. For now, we are collecting school supplies for the students of the clients we serve. Please prayerfully consider helping us collect these supplies. We will need the regular type classroom supplies, all sizes of school uniforms (navy or khaki pants and white shirts), and backpacks.

We thank you in advance for helping and trust that our new friends will come to know Jesus through our actions of love. Contact jamie@ashasrefuge.org, deborah@ashasrefuge.org or erica@ashasrefuge.org if you have any suggestions or questions.
