Bhutanese Refugees

Eighteen years ago, Bhutan expelled 110,000 residents of Nepal heritage.  These refugees lived in Nepal camps for 17 years until resettling began in 2008.  Recently close to 50 individuals moved to the Columbus, area and we anticipate even more will arrive in 2009.  Each family arrives in the US with very few possessions.  Their presence in Central Ohio gives us a unique opportunity to share the love of Christ in both word and deed.

There is tremendous openness to the Gospel and many individuals are attending Bible studies. Your gift will help provide, food, clothing, transportation and basic vocational training.

2009 Goal: $3,000
