The Lord has placed us at Regency, right at the crossroad of where thousands of immigrant and refugee families are located. After learning more about the needs of these relocated families, we are teaming up with our neighbor at the other end of the mall, the Henrico County Adult Learning Center, to cohost a Resource Fair to provide a way to meet and become familiar with the many agencies and ministries in our area that can help meet these numerous needs. 

The Resource Fair

The event will be held at the Henrico Country Adult Learning Center at Regency on Thursday, September 19, from 5:30 - 7:30 pm with groups like Crossover, Third Church Immigrant and Refugee Tutoring, ESL at West End Pres and WEAG, Christian Arabic Church, Re-Establish Richmond, GRTC, and many other private and county organizations. 

How can you help? 

• Be in prayer for relationships to be developed and for fruitful connections to be built for these families to receive the help they need in negotiating life in a new and different culture. 

• Volunteer for hospitality (refreshments and helping people find the Learning Center), as language interpreters, and for set up and clean up.
