Every year on June 20 we mark World Refugee Day. It is a weighty day that invites us to turn our attention toward the growing global crisis of forced displacement. World Refugee Day also gives us the opportunity to highlight the resilience and contributions of our friends who have fled their homes because of violence and persecution.
Join us on World Refugee Day for an online gathering!

We’ll share the latest refugee numbers and hotspots around the globe alongside firsthand stories of challenge and hope from IAFR workers in different contexts.
You will have a chance to personally encourage refugees!
At the end you'll have the option to respond by sending a brief written prayer or encouragement that we’ll compile and share with displaced people we know around the world. It's a simple yet powerful way to express your concern and offer connection with people who need to know they are not forgotten.
