You are a refuge Video

by: Sam Hargreaves

Like many people, we have been struggling with how to respond to the current refugee crisis across Europe. To help churches and groups reflect prayerfully and worshipfully on this, we have created a video for the very fitting song 'You are a Refuge (Arms)' by Ben Atkins from RESOUNDworship.org. You can download the video here on our website and use it in services or events. Alternatively, we have also made this available as static PowerPoint images. If you want to get hold of the sheet music or other resources, go over to RESOUNDworship.org.

We are not charging for this video, but we wanted to highlight some great charities who are working with refugees. If you want to make a financial contribution we recommend you visit:

Tearfund or
Christian Aid

If you think you could help practically, Home for Good are coordinating offers of fostering refugee children.
