Our Story
Since 2020 a few families from Come to Jesus Ministries church had been assisting African refugees in NE Wisconsin. In 2022 the decision was made to formalize and expand these efforts. With the help of some friends from Green Bay Community Church, Sawa Sawa Collective (formerly RYAEI) was formed as a non-profit. The heart and motivation of this organization is based on the hope we have in Jesus Christ and sharing this hope by many different means with refugees and immigrants.
