transformed the region. Meredith served
with World Relief for twelve years helping churches welcome and care for
refugees in their communities. As a researcher and writer, she has written
extensively for international humanitarian aid and development

communicating the opportunities Christians have to connect with people from
other cultures, both around the world and in our backyards. Meredith was educated in Metro New York,

on ethNYCity was learning where to
find awesome ethnic food!
