Hannah Sillars, a Mere Fidelity listener, wrote in after listening to last week's Mere Fidelity refugee episode to comment on one particular point about the ongoing refugee crisis. Hannah Sillars is an author and marketing professional who lives in Toronto, ON, with her husband, Jordan. She's written for Christianity Today, WORLD magazine online, and blogs at www.hold-the-anchovies.com. We also have a separate post on Notes with more resources on refugees. If you want to help refugees in your area, we have information to help you do that over there.

This was mostly "off" until after college, when my husband and I committed to volunteering at least one night per week for a year.
