Planning <strong>and</strong> Organizing<br />
<strong>for</strong> Action<br />
This section is intended as a complement to the previous chapters. It is provided in the spirit of<br />
suggestion, as a resource to supplement the other planning processes you are already engaged<br />
in as you prepare <strong>for</strong> the arrival of the refugee family. Even if the family has already arrived <strong>and</strong> the<br />
sponsorship is well underway, you may still find some useful ideas in this section.<br />
The following pages contain questions <strong>and</strong> ideas to assist your church in the process of planning how<br />
you will accompany the refugee family in a variety of areas related to healing from trauma:<br />

As you read on, be encouraged that your church will be a wonderful resource <strong>for</strong> <strong>refugees</strong> <strong>and</strong> has great<br />
potential to play an important role in your sponsored refugee family’s journey of healing <strong>and</strong> belonging.<br />
