When the opportunity arose for Americans to privately sponsor refugees, Joe and Kim Mitchell of Idaho Falls felt called to step up. They helped form a Sponsor Circle to welcome three Afghan pilots to Idaho Falls in 2022, the first new refugee arrivals the community had seen in decades. More recently they welcomed a family of four (now five) through Uniting for Ukraine.
On today's episode, Kim shares about what it has been like being a sponsor and gives an update on how their new friends are doing today. We'll also hear Joe & Kim's workshop presented at this year's Idaho Conference on Refugees.
