MCCC will be sponsoring an Afghan refugee family selected by Pastor Obed from the ACEM Afghan Church plant. The family is expected to arrive in Canada in early April 2024. Volunteers will be needed to help the family with needs such as transportation, finding housing, etc. (more details will be available later). If you are interested in becoming a volunteer, please contact pastoral staff of your congregation.

Here are the main responsibilities of the volunteers when they arrive (working together with a team from Afghan church):
a. Welcoming the family when they arrive at the airport.
b. Finding second-hand furniture and other home appliances.
c. Helping to find clothes and shoes for the family.

The pastor of the Afghan church (Pastor Obed) will be giving us an online presentation on how to host this family on March 12 at 7:30 p.m. Brothers and sisters who would like to help this family are welcome to attend. Zoom links can be obtained with Rev Vincent Lee or other pastors.
