Exodus World Service is a ministry "helping people who cannot go home" - Exodus World Service transforms the lives of refugees and volunteers. They educate local churches about refugee ministry, connect volunteers in relationship with refugee families through practical service projects, and equip leaders to speak up on behalf of refugees.
