Send Relief has been serving some of the most vulnerable individuals and families living in Hamilton since 2023 and is currently ministering to over 200 refugee claimants in Hamilton. We provide a variety of services:

• Gospel-centered ESL classes for beginner and intermediate students
• Canadian Life Skills Seminars on topics that include banking, taxes, driving in Canada, housing, Canadian culture, and more
• Appeal and Ready Tour webinars once a month in partnership with the Immigration Board of Canada

Refugee claimants in Canada are not eligible for most federally funded settlement services. This means they can’t access free English language classes, employment training, housing search assistance, health care, or education for their children. The delay for the Eligibility Interview has increased from several weeks to up to nine months. The Eligibility Interview only allows them eligibility to apply for refugee status to start the process. They are utterly lost in our Canadian system without any support.Send Relief is ready to serve these refugees, but we need your partnership to do so.

Facility Needs

We are currently looking for land in the Hamilton area. You can find out more about this effort and the need by reading up on our Meeting Needs, Changing Lives initiative here.

We are praying for:

• A space where refugees can be welcomed and receive training
• Housing where the most vulnerable refugees can experience safe and affordable shelter
• A place of worship where God’s people can gather and disciple those coming to faith
• A central home for CNBC so we can continue to expand our church planting efforts in Canada
• A training centre for mission teams and pastors. We’re praying the Lord will raise partners like yourself to join us.

Partner with us in Hamilton by giving today.
