Training and Education
Every year, 15 million people are forced from their homelands, fleeing terror and persecution. We take the freedom and safety with which we are blessed in
 America for granted. To help others understand God's call to welcome the stranger in our midst, Exodus World Service welcomes the opportunity to visit groups. Exodus speakers can tailor a presentation to fit any size and age group -preschool chapel, children's church, junior high classrooms, confirmation and youth groups, adult Bible studies and workshops, seniors groups.
Exodus offers in-person training for Christian volunteers, and speakers from the speaker's bureau make presentations to groups located throughout the Chicagoland area.

other topics:
