Elizabeth Wroughton
Both of my parents are linguists and Wycliffe Bible Translators, and I was raised in Andes of Peru. I recently graduated from Calvin College, and I have be serving Bethany Christian Services' Refugee Foster Care Program through the Cooperation for National Community Service (aka AmeriCorp). During college I began attending at Sherman Street CRC in Grand Rapids. I am passionate about my work, which involves finding healthy homes for refugee children.

I am curious, as a newcomer to the CRC denomination and as a missionary kid, how all of you see the role of your Churches in supporting existing government and agency collaborative efforts that address international poverty issues in our own communities? I am thinking specifically of how churches and individuals become involved in assisting refugees in their resettlement (or becoming a refugee foster parents).
