Besides funds to cover the family's expenses, the church is also looking for leads on affordable housing, as well as some kind of storage space where furniture, clothing and toy donations can be housed when the time comes to begin soliciting those particular donations. How lucky we are "It is really important to recognize how lucky we are... I've had the privilege to take people to countries around the world where we have partners and sponsorships and you get to see the harsh realities other people live in and it leaves an impact on you," said Foxall. "I think inherently everybody wants to do something of value and I've found, in most cases here at Knox or in other churches, people want to help, but they don't know how to help or they don't know how to help in a beneficial way.... "To walk along a family that has gone through a pretty rough time and say `Let us help you and welcome you to our country, so it can become your country', that's remarkable." Jesus was a refugee in Egypt: Bible Foxall pointed out, according to the Bible, after his birth, Jesus Christ was a refugee having to flee Bethlehem and go to Egypt for years to escape persecution. With Christmas approaching, Foxall said it makes more sense than ever to help someone in a similar predicament. The message Foxall hopes children in particular will take away from Knox's sponsorship efforts is no matter where they come from or what religion they are -- people's lives matter -- and the work Knox is carrying out is the right thing to do. One family at a time He said if the settlement of this first family is successful the congregation would see about sponsoring another.
