Communications and Marketing Coordinator

Furniture Friends is a ministry that provides free furniture for international students at the University of Arkansas and resettled Refugees in our area. We receive furniture donations from the community, furniture stores, and businesses. We then partner with church groups and other believers to help us deliver items to families while making relational connections that open doors for us to share the hope of Christ with peoples from all over the world. Most students and refugees are coming from the 10/40 window area of the world (most unreached areas with the gospel). We served 360+ international families last year. We are in need of more ministry team members to help us on the furniture (business) side and the ministry engagement (relational side).
