They are coming! Are you
willing to help? Are you ready to help?
Every year, the President and
Congress determine the arrival quota, the small
percentage of refugees who will have a chance to
start a new life in the United States during
that year.
But just because refugees are
coming does not mean they are somehow lucky or
that they are even going to make it in our land
of opportunity. To have the best shot at
success, they need your help.
10 Million To 1
is about the help, direction, and love you can
provide to refugees as they arrive in our
country and take their first steps toward
self-sufficiency.
Everything You Will Need to Know
This book describes how you,
who have likely grown up in the comfort of
America, can welcome a refugee family and get
them started on the path to a new and prosperous
life as contributing members of our society.
You will discover all the
steps you need, from meeting them upon arrival
at the airport to getting them housing to
finding them jobs.
This book details every task that must be
accomplished, complete with checklists, and how
to divide tasks with others keeping the workload
minimal for everyone.
You'll have access to an
actual case study showing timelines and costs
and hours of manpower needed to get a real
resettlement to successful conclusion.
When we first started a
resettlement project with our first family, we
had a brief orientation as to what would happen
and what would be expected of us. We
received a photo-copied handbook with some
helpful information, but no where near the depth
of what you get in
10 Million To 1.
All that early information we
received about refugee resettlement, we put to
the test. We embraced what worked and
dropped what didn't. In this book I am
providing the experience of nearly 10 years,
full immersion into eight separate resettlement
cases, and supporting and coaching roles with
other resettlement teams.
From Refugee Camp to U.S. Citizen
Along the way, you’ll
experience personal growth in ways you never
imagined. You may witness the ultimate
heartwarming opportunity when you see the
decision, the steps, and the fulfillment as the
former refugees become citizens of our great
nation.
And, that's what it's all
about--turning a tough situation into one filled
with hope for the future. And in this
story, you get to be the hero!
Oh, yes, the world is a
better place.
Here's what some others have
already said about 10 Million To 1...
10 Million To 1
is a must-read for anyone with
an interest in refugee
resettlement. Jeff focuses on
the most important part of
resettlement—the goal of
self-sufficiency for each
refugee that makes a new life in
the United States. While each
refugee’s story is unique,
Jeff’s stories and explanations
in the book take away the
uncertainty of resettlement and
should encourage citizens to
reach out and become involved.

10 Million To 1
is a comprehensive guide to one
of the most powerful and
touching volunteer opportunities
in the United States, refugee
resettlement. Mr. Kirk’s passion
and knowledge about the subject
is clear and provides
co-sponsors with a great
opportunity to avoid commonly
encountered mistakes.

10 Million To 1
answers so many questions that
those involved in refugees’
lives have. As personnel in
local businesses, community
organizations, churches,
schools, and health facilities
become increasingly aware of the
needs of the refugee population,
natural concerns arise. Mr.
Kirk, while approaching each
concern with respect and
cultural sensitivity,
comprehensively answers these
questions from a variety of
legal, economic, humanitarian,
religious, and logical
perspectives. I would recommend
this book to everyone who has
ever met a refugee, and I plan
to suggest that the entire
faculty at my school read it!
