World Relief CEO Tim Breene, August 21, 2019

“This is a crucial moment for Christians to stand up for the vulnerable. World Relief upholds a biblical view that preserving the family unit is paramount and people of all ages should be treated with dignity and respect. Children belong with their parents and not in jail-like detention facilities.”
