Refugee Support at KXC
”The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the LORD your God.” Leviticus 19:34
We believe that every refugee and asylum seeker has unique value in the eyes of God, and at KXC we work to welcome, empower and dignify those in our community who are fleeing persecution. We want to continue to host activities and spaces where they can find community and build friendships.

HASSAN’S STORY (PART 1 & 2)
In June 2023, we caught up with Hassan, an asylum seeker, who shared some of his experience with us.
Now, in May 2024, we've had another catch-up to see what he's been getting up to Hassan has been seeking status for over two years and though it’s been an incredibly challenging time, his positive outlook on life is contagious.
