Doug & Anya Holcomb

Doug and Anya Holcomb are serving refugees in Salem, OR. Their sending organization is Salem Alliance Church and they work in collaboration with the Refugee and Immigrant Network (RAIN) of the Christian and Missionary Alliance.

Doug and Anya's heart is to share the good news of God’s love with refugees through community development and discipleship. The ministry they lead is called “Baraka,” a word that means “Blessing” in a variety of languages. The mission of Baraka is to bless our global neighbors with God’s love through long-term practical, social and spiritual support. The programs of Baraka include Airport Welcomes for new refugee families, an International Prayer Gathering, an English language program, an Immigration Legal Services center, a Workforce Development program, and partnerships with All Nations Soccer and Salem For Refugees (a refugee resettlement agency founded by the Holcombs). Through their role, Doug & Anya also connect with churches and organizations across the country to inspire others to come alongside refugees in their communities.

Doug and Anya’s role is completely support-based through the financial giving of those God has called to partner with them through donations to the Holcomb Support Fund at Salem Alliance Church. See below for instructions on how to give.
