Jubilee Partners is a Christian service community in rural Georgia, founded in 1979. Their primary work is to offer hospitality to refugees who have experienced violence or persecution. Jubilee offers a place for recovery and healing as well as practical supports such as language classes, legal resources and medical care. Jubilee is blessed with 258 acres of very pretty land, creeks, forest, three ponds—and lots of happy children. Come tour the grounds with founding director Don Mosley. After a brief intro to the organization, board the 14-passenger van on a driving tour to see parts of the community that you would not have time to see on foot, especially the part we refer to as the "Welcome Center," where most of our 4000+ refugees have each lived for at least a couple of months. There will be an option to stay after the tour for announcements and devotions and join the group for lunch in the main dining room.
