The U.S. Supreme Court is expected to issue several significant immigration-related decisions in the coming weeks.

Among the issues to watch are:
• Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitians and Syrians
• Birthright citizenship
• Due process protections for asylum seekers

These cases involve complex legal questions, but their outcomes could have real impacts on families, communities and the future of U.S. immigration policy.

Swipe through for a brief overview of what's at stake, and follow along as we continue to provide updates and context when decisions are announced.

Three years ago, the roof of Nayenae’s home sagged and its walls crumbled. When the rains came, she had to seek refuge in a neighbor’s home in her village in Turkana, Kenya. Then her church community noticed she’d stopped coming and they refused to let her be forgotten.

Neighbors and faith leaders gathered to pray, mobilize support and build her a safer home using locally available materials. They kept showing up, too — visiting regularly with food, water, and practical help that restored dignity and belonging.

We were honored to come alongside — supporting local church leaders as they led a community-owned response. We’ve seen that when churches are equipped to serve, they can reach neighbors quickly and keep showing up, creating lasting change.

When Claudine Mutoni was living in a refugee camp in Rwanda, she believed something better was still possible.

Today, she has a steady job, her own car and bigger dreams still ahead.
After arriving in Appleton, Wisconsin, Claudine connected with World Relief Wisconsin employment specialist Chrisanna Barricklow. She recently celebrated her one-year work anniversary at Vestis, where 19 of 63 employees have been placed through World Relief Wisconsin — nearly 30% of the workforce.

For Claudine, this job means stability and the freedom to dream bigger. She wants to go back to school, build a business career and one day open a restaurant serving traditional African dishes.

"The first time I met Chrisanna, she came to my house and welcomed me," Claudine said. "She asked about my education and helped me get a job."

That's what walking alongside someone looks like. And that's what believing in more looks like.

36.4 million refugees are believing for something better. Will you believe with them? 🔗 https://bit.ly/4vh494A

This is a crucial moment in history.

Perhaps you’ve felt it with us — the sense that the world is at a turning point. That the choices we make today will shape the kind of communities our children inherit tomorrow.

In moments like these, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the scale of the crisis. But refugees remind us of something powerful: courage doesn’t require certainty. Every day, families forced from their homes choose courage for the sake of those they love. They step into an unknown future believing something better is still possible. Believing in more.

And their courage invites a question for all of us: What does it look like for us to believe in more today?

Join us this month as we honor Refugee Awareness Month with stories of dignity, ways to advocate for refugees in your community and more!

When grief left Pastor Lydia wondering if she could keep her church doors open, she didn’t just need basic support — she needed community.

After losing her husband, Lydia found herself leading Cornerstone Church alone, with morale low and the congregation nearly gone. Then a connection through World Relief Kenya’s church mapping and a local church network changed everything. Churches rallied around her: offering fellowship, practical support, and a reminder that she wasn’t meant to carry the weight alone.

With a stable home and renewed encouragement, Pastor Lydia returned to ministry with fresh hope. She started by welcoming children each week — then parents began to follow. Today, the sanctuary that was once empty is filling with life, and Lydia has launched a seed project to provide meals for children every Sunday.

Lasting impact takes root when communities own the solutions and the church comes alongside for durable, community-led change.

Thank you for partnering with us as we work alongside local churches to bring hope to where it’s needed most.

We want to say thank you to the nearly 14,000 Christians who raised their voices on behalf of refugees rebuilding their lives in the United States!

✉️ Together, we sent a letter to Congress expressing deep concern over the revetting of refugees who were lawfully admitted to the U.S. after undergoing one of the most rigorous vetting processes in the world.

We believe refugees deserve dignity, stability and the opportunity to flourish in welcoming communities. And we will continue advocating alongside churches and supporters like you for policies that protect vulnerable families and uphold their God-given dignity.

Thank you for standing with refugees and reminding our leaders that welcome matters!

“Juntos” means together. But in Mateo’s story, it meant even more than that.

It meant pastors answering late-night phone calls.
Churches opening their doors without hesitation.
Communities crossing state lines to remind one frightened family they were not alone.

Juntos is more than from a distance. It is solidarity. A shared commitment to carry burdens together and create communities where dignity, compassion and belonging flourish.

This is the kind of welcome the church is called to embody.

At World Relief, we believe in more than survival for refugees and other immigrants rebuilding their lives.

We believe in belonging.
In flourishing.
In communities shaped by the love of Christ.
Because flourishing happens juntos.
