Transforming Lives, One Child at a Time

Our Mission:

At Refugee Resources, we serve refugee families in Dallas, Texas, sharing the transformative hope of the Gospel by meeting both physical and spiritual needs.

The Reading Circle equips students and their families with foundation literacy skills while fostering meaningful, Christ - centered mentor relationships.

It is structured to provide our students with individualized instruction from a consistent weekly mentor/literacy coach. Students are informally assessed by his/her mentor and shared with the student as they progress through the decodable books, oral fluency and leveled readers. Each students’ progress is monitored through the program.

The Preschool Circle is a nurturing, weekly program designed for refugee children ages 2-5. Through themed play and caring mentorship, we build early literacy, math, motor, and school readiness skills — laying the foundation for lifelong learning.

Latest Blog - Taste and See that The Lord is Good!

I’ve had the joy of reading with Amani* the last 2 years. Her family is from the Congo, she’s the second born of four, and she just finished 6th grade. She’s resilient, a bit of a tomboy, and full of gen-z slang. (Bruhhhh, she cooked). We laugh so much together!

Every week as part of our routine, we memorize scripture. The kids start with a verse in Genesis, then Exodus, Leviticus, etc. and work their way through the entire Bible! Each time they recite the next verse to Ms. Alysa, they get to pick a prize (usually candy).

We recently had bonus Bible verses for a chance to earn an extra large candy prize. Amani looked at me with wide eyes and determination and said: “I’ll do anything for candy.”I died laughing.

She made me think of Psalm 34:8 “Taste and see that the LORD is good. Oh, the joys of those who take refuge in him!”

Most weeks, she nails another memory verse and God’s promise takes a hilariously literal form. Candy!!!!
