Executive Director: Doran Schrantz

executive director: Doran Schrantz, executive director of ISAIAH, says faith communities' response to help shelter refugees is incredible, according to CBC. Supplied Schrantz is the executive director of ISAIAH, Faith in Democracy, a Minnesota-based faith agency that advocates for refugees. Walking in negative-25-degree weather in the middle of winter to try to get across the border is a signal of what's at stake for many people and families and communities, Doran Schrantz told the CBC. People are terrified. Schrantz was responding to the case of two refugees from Ghana who in late December walked their way across the U.S. border into Manitoba. It exemplifies the amount of sacrifice and just sheer survival and urgency of people's experience, Schrantz said. They are now in a Winnipeg hospital recovering from frostbite just two of more than 500 refugees who've snuck across the border since the beginning of 2015. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
