<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px">My name is Mike Ureche and I am
the recruiting specialist at Bethany Christian Services. I am a newer
face at Bethany, but have been working with our refugee and immigrant
neighbors for over 6 years in various capacities
such as ESL director, citizenship class director, and now in the field
of community engagement and recruitment through Bethany. There is
nothing that excites me more than helping equip and encourage our
communities to better love, serve, and welcome our newcomer
neighbors. Since my time at Bethany I have had the opportunity
to process new refugee foster families, train new volunteers and refugee
mentors, and reunite a child to her mother. </p>

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><span style="font-size:12pt">I
would love to come share some of my experiences and encourage your
community to take advantage of the unique opportunities to serve their
refugee neighbors through Bethany's many programs.
With more than 65+ million displaced individuals in today's refugee
crisis, there is a place for every community and every family to serve. </span><br>

am extremely thankful for service libraries provide
in our communities. In fact, it was thanks to Chris Nofsinger at the
Marcellus Township Library that I received my new position at Bethany!
My wife and I attended a presentation about refugees at our local
library in Marcellus where a Bethany speaker was
present. After a great conversation with the speaker, I found myself in
the employment process for a position at Bethany and now get the
privilege to do much of the speaking! </span>
