Partner with us! Below you will find various projects that support the relief, relocation, and resettlement of forcibly displaced persons. We hope that as you explore our projects in support of persecuted & displaced Christians, a particular project will resonate with you.

We also encourage you to consider the General Fund (REF 260) option that will assist operational management & support projects where it is needed most.

Stand with R.U.T.H.

Support women and children who are currently experiencing displacement.

‘Refugees Undergoing Trauma & Hardship.’ Over and over again, Philoi encounter stories of resilient women who remind us of Ruth in the Bible. Ruth is known for her resilience, faithfulness, and courage, all of which are particularly poignant in light of her experience as a refugee without male support.

Sanctuary Housing (Safe House)

Support newly arrivals in Australia with sanctuary housing.

With the soaring rental market in Australia, refugees are struggling to find affordable accommodation. A generous family has offered their house to be used as a ‘sanctuary house’ for newly arriving refugees. If you have or know any facilities that could potentially serve as sanctuaries, we kindly urge you to reach out to us. Alternatively, you could help contribute to a family’s rent as they get on their feet.
