“I learned that there are people internationally that I can help that are in the United States and in my own city. I feel like I can help people worldwide now without feeling stuck by having no way to get across the world. It feels like the world came to me and I can help make a difference.”
Katrina
“Too many Christians and churches remain uninformed and unchallenged and too many refugees remain isolated and will never know God’s love for them. We need to wake up the church, and what an incredible opportunity we have to be advocates for refugees, in Tucson and beyond.”
Paula
“TRM offers everything you need (outside of the Spirit of God) for a church to get started in refugee ministry. They made it easy for us. The mentoring is great, they are there for as much or as little as you need.”
Essie
“This is a good way to learn about other cultures when you are unable to travel to other countries.”
Shane
“If you’ re curious or if you think you’re an expert, you will learn and be encouraged by their training (Volunteer Info Night). Every American should do it!”
Mary
“I have attended the Volunteer Info Night twice and it is well worth the time. It is very informative and entertaining.”
Marni
“Thank you so much for your training. My husband and I learned so much and it was a pleasant surprise. I felt inspired, even lifted. I think everyone should experience it, even if they aren’t going to volunteer, simply as an educational tool. The TRM team is well versed and organized.”
Leigh Ann
“I came away with a 180 degree different view of what it was to love a refugee family!”

“This training opened my eyes to the challenges refugees face in a new country, what they may have lost before they got here, and the emotional challenges of both.”
Cindi
“You don’t need to travel overseas to meet a need. It starts in your very own community.”
Megan
“This training empowered me to know how to begin building bridges. You don’t have to be a master builder to begin. It takes one step at a time.”
Dawn
