Seattle, known as the Emerald City, is a vibrant and energetic metropolis nestled between the Puget Sound and the Cascade Mountain Range. Many refugees, immigrants, and international students find a temporary or permanent home here in the Seattle area. We have refugees from different parts of the world, including Afghanistan, Ukraine, Congo, and Syria. We are currently focusing our efforts on working with Syrian refugee families placed throughout Seattle and the surrounding cities. In addition, we have a large number of immigrants and international students, making cities like Federal Way, Kent, and Renton some of the most diverse cities in the country. Our mission is to obey our Lord and Savior to “make disciples of all nations” (Matthew 28:18-20). With over 130 different languages spoken in our region, we don’t have to look very far to go to all nations.
