Interfaith Ministries' Requesting Help One of Interfaith Ministries' core programs is Refugee Services. Each year, Refugee Services re-settles approximately 300 refugees — people who have been forced from their homeland due to religious, political or ethnic persecution — in Houston to begin a new life. It is Refugee Services' mission to assist individual refugees, or refugee families, become self-sufficient productive members of the Houston community within 5 - 6 months of their arrival here. As part of that effort, to help them get started in their new life, IM provides each individual or family with a sparsely furnished apartment, rent and food assistance, and help finding a job, and schools for their children. That is where we need your help!! There are currently 6 newly arrived refugee families in desperate need of sofas, and kitchen or dining room tables and chairs. For whatever reason — the economy, people not up-grading their homes, or not moving into new homes — we are experiencing a severe shortage of sofas, and chairs and tables on which to have breakfast or share a family dinner. If you know of any one who might have a lightly used sofa, or kitchen table and chairs, or dining room table and chairs, that they would like to donate to one of our families, please have them contact Aleksandra Huskic, Financial Program Supervisor, Refugee Services. She can be reached at 713-533-4932. Your generosity will be greatly appreciated. Again, if you have furniture to donate please contact Aleksandra Huskic, Financial Program Supervisor, Refugee Services. She can be reached at 713-533-4932. |
Epiphany supports KAIROS, carrying the Christian message to prisoners. "The Kairos Prison Ministry has been active for 20 years with about 1,775 weekends in about 25 states and, in 1995, in Australia. In Texas, Kairos is now active in 10 units of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, having begun in Texas in 1986. Those who serve on teams are only the most visible ministers in this endeavor. Kairos is an expensive and complicated ministry. Only with the support of many more people can Kairos continue to reach into the maximum security units of this state. Epiphanites have given generously. In the future, please plan to contribute in the following ways:
