DETAILS
ENVISION ATLANTA
Envision Atlanta is located in Clarkston, Georgia, eleven miles east of the heart of Atlanta. Clarkston is a hub for refugee resettlement, having welcomed tens o f thousands of refugees over the past four decades.

In this diverse environment, the team seeks to tangibly love and serve their neighbors, many of whom have never heard the good news of the gospel. Envision Atlanta desires to include short-term teams and interns in this work, providing opportunities to understand God's heart for the refugee and to develop holistically.
