Lifeline for Refugees
Provision for those in Need
Connecting Families has been taking care of some of the 13,657 refugees from other countries that are being sheltered in Indonesia. Many of these refugees are fleeing persecution, war, famine, and poverty in their home countries.
Though many are registered with the United Nations Refugee Agency and are receiving aid from the Indonesian government, the support received is not enough to survive. As a result, hundreds of refugees live with their families on the streets of Jakarta, homeless and hungry. Some will eventually be placed in a country willing to receive them, but due to Covid-19, the resettlement of refugees is slow and challenging. Connecting Families is fully supporting five refugee families but the need is great. Join us today for the provision for every last refugee family.
Mr. K's Testimony
"I am so blessed. Very thankful to Jesus and very thankful to Pastor James Long, Providence Anglican Church (PAC) in Canggu Bali, and Connecting Families. Pastor Long and PAC Canggu helped me a lot with surgery for my hernia and my teeth and both PAC and Connecting Families and Pastor Tim have helped pay for my apartment rental and monthly food..."

The Kalideres Refugee Camp in Jakarta houses 1100 of the 13,657 Refugees sheltered in Indonesia and waiting for resettlement in other countries if the door to a new life opens. In the Fall of 2019, prior funding for the refugees from Australia and from the Jakarta city government ran out, so the government cut off the electricity and the water to the facility.
Now the families live in tents inside the compound, with no facilities and no bathrooms. They have no choice but to defecate and urinate on the open streets. The tightly packed rooms of the compound create an ideal transmission hotspot for Covid 19. Sponsorship of a refugee family would get the family out of the camp and into an apartment with electricity and running water.
