The Board of Mission has decided to sponsor a family of five who were persecuted in Pakistan because of their Christian faith and took refuge in Thailand where they have been since 2013. The family consists of a mother, father, adult son and two daughters aged 16 and 21. The sponsorship is being done in partnership with the Office for Refugees of the Archdiocese of Toronto (ORAT) which will contribute some of the funds needed to support this family for their first year in Canada. On April 7 the family is going for their first interview at the Canadian Embassy in Bangkok.Your prayers and financial support for this refugee family would be greatly appreciated.
