IMB works along the refugee highway

Some 80 million people globally are displaced from their home countries due to war, violence, drought or other causes.

Syria, Afghanistan and South Sudan top the UN High Commissioner for Refugees’ list of nations producing the most refugees.

Refugees take more than one journey. The more obvious journey is the one they make from instability and threats of violence and death to Western nations in search of stability and safety.

For many female refugees, the journey includes sexual trauma, grief and sometimes domestic abuse.

William and Darlene King* (names changed for security reasons) serve among refugee populations in Europe. Darlene helps women navigate these dark corridors from trauma to healing. Darlene partners with other Christian organizations to provide for the mental health needs of refugees by hosting trauma healing seminars and offering counseling.
