World Relief Atlanta, a non-profit organization, is on a mission to empower the local Church to serve the most vulnerable – refugees and immigrants. Their vision throughout their organization is to not only provide these people with economic, social, and spiritual change, but to also partner with the local Church in doing that, which sets them apart from many of the other refugee/immigrant organizations. By partnering with the local Church, they’re not only building community for these people outside of themselves, but they’re giving them a love that’s fueled by God’s love first.
World Relief Atlanta values setting a right example of who Jesus is by using the local Church as a “primary agent of bringing peace, justice, and love to a broken world” that’s filled with people of all uniqueness. Their programs are offered at a continuous excellence to ensure that change is ensuing within the lives of the people they’re serving. In order to upkeep a continuous excellence, World Relief Atlanta is intentional about their collaboration “among all stakeholders, including local governments, the worldwide church, mission agencies, other NGO’s, and the business community,” because they believe that partnership is an essential key to their excellence and success. Though their mission plan seems to be perfect on paper, World Relief Atlanta recognizes that none of what they do would matter or potentially work if their mission didn’t rest on the power of prayer, which they emphasize as a crucial foundation to their mission.
