TESTIMONIALS

What people are saying about our work

When we landed, there were not a lot of Korean people here, and it was hard because we did not have a car and had to find jobs knowing very little English.

Read the Refugee Story

-Ka Taw Dow

The reason why I left my home country to escape from arbitrary arrest, torture, racial discrimination, persecution and possibly being killed at the hands of the Burmes Army...

Honestly those kinds of services that I've never seen before and I would say that they belong to a Good Samaritan's heart. I strongly believe that God sent these people ahead of us to serve the needy people with love and care.

-Daniel
