Transforming Lives, One Child at a Time

Our mission at Refugee Resources is to empower Dallas-based students and their families by building foundational literacy skills, fostering impactful mentor relationships, and sharing the transformative hope of the Gospel.

The Reading Circle is structured to provide our students with individualized instruction from a consistent weekly mentor/literacy coach. Students are informally assessed by his/her mentor and shared with the student as they progress through the decodable books, oral fluency and leveled readers. Each students’ progress is monitored through the program.

The Preschool Circle is a nurturing, weekly program designed for refugee children ages 2-5. Through themed play and caring mentorship, we build early literacy, math, motor, and school readiness skills — laying the essential foundation for lifelong learning and success.

Through the course of the semester, students develop strong relational ties with mentors, therefore encouraging academic success.

The start of the New Year often brings both a spirit of reflection and hope—a time to look back on the past year and all God has done, while also looking forward to the year ahead and eagerly anticipating all that He will do. We take time to make new goals, refresh checklists, and renew prayer requests, hoping this next year will bring the things we desire.

As I began reflecting on this past year, my time at Refugee Resources stood out as a clear highlight and a powerful affirmation from the Lord of what an obedient “yes” can do. It was this time last year that I got connected with Refugee Resources, answering a not-so-subtle call from the Lord to begin serving again. I had just participated in a short-term mission trip in Athens, Greece, where we partnered with a local ministry whose mission is to share the gospel through building relationships with refugee families. 

Millions of refugees pass through places like Greece every year, seeking to escape their circumstances and build a better life in America or Europe. During that time, God began stirring my heart to find a way to get involved locally here in Dallas, one of the largest resettlement cities for refugees in the United States. God quickly answered that prayer as I discovered the ministry of Refugee Resources through my church. While the ministry focuses on literacy and education, the true heart of everyone who serves is that students and their families would come to know the love of Jesus and place their trust in Him.
