Empowering Refugee Families: G.O.D. International's Parenting Seminar


At Global Outreach Developments, our dedication to empowering marginalized communities drives our initiatives. Recently, Congolese refugees in Nashville, Tennessee benefited from a transformative seminar aimed at equipping them with essential knowledge and resources for their new lives. This event, facilitated by experts in various fields, addressed critical aspects of child welfare, digital safety, and spiritual guidance.



Led by Cannon Cameron, a lawyer knowledgeable in child welfare laws, participants gained a deeper understanding of Tennessee's legal definitions of abuse and neglect. This session emphasized the importance of compliance with local regulations to safeguard children and navigate potential legal complexities. Topics such as corporal punishment, guidelines for leaving children home alone, and safety laws regarding child car seats and bicycles were thoroughly covered, providing practical insights for daily life.


Nathan Cameron, our specialist in ethical technology use and youth protection, addressed the pressing digital challenges facing young refugees. With a foundation in biblical principles of protection, Nathan highlighted concerning statistics on issues like porn exposure and cyberbullying. His session provided parents with actionable strategies to ensure their children's safety online, including insights into internet safety protocols and platform-specific safeguards.


John Nyago, Global Outreach Development International's community outreach manager, brought a biblical perspective to parenting through the lens of stewardship. He emphasized the profound responsibility of nurturing children's spiritual and moral growth, advocating for an environment rooted in faith and values.


This seminar marks an important step in our commitment to supporting vulnerable communities. By providing guidance on legal, digital, and spiritual fronts, we hope to empower Congolese refugee families to thrive in their new environment with confidence and resilience. We continue to stand alongside these families, fostering empowerment and integration within their new communities.
