Hundreds of forcibly displaced people find their way to Amarillo each year. Learn more about which nationalities, ethnic groups and languages are represented in Amarillo.
Community Trainings
How can we equip your group?
Would you like us to come and share with your group or team? We'd love a chance to teach you about Amarillo's refugee network, or about navigating the cultural diversity of our region.
Every other month
This is our foundations class, meant to equip especially the Church to welcome refugees. Learn about Amarillo's refugees, understand our faith foundations, and hear about opportunities to connect with our work.
