In 1999 Colleen and Arnis Benthal went on a church trip to Romania. This began a decades long partnership with a local congregation. No one could forsee how their partnership would change from a medical clinic to a kindergarten and now a place for Ukranian refugees.
With the current crisis in Ukraine and the millions of refugees pouring across the borders, people around the world are looking for ways to help. Colleen shares ways their network is involved with providing a safe place to stay while they arrange travel to a more permanent location.
