This is a joint mission of Calgary First Church of the Nazarene, under the direction of Pastor Trent McDowell and African Calgary Community Church of the Nazarene, under the leadership of Pastors Moses Chot Jock and Boor Doyak. SSRR is a Community Refugee Sponsorship Program focused on bringing refugees displaced from South Sudan to Calgary and into our church congregation.

Sponsored refugees will be UNHCR certified from camps in the surrounding countries – Sudan, Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda, Central African Republic and Democratic Republic of the Congo.

SSRR Program is an outreach of compassion, grace, and faith. We will sponsor and support these men, women and children to integrate into the Calgary community and to begin along the path to Canadian citizenship.  This is our pending first refugee family, currently in Kakuma Refugee Camp, Kenya.
