Loving the Immigrants in Our Midst | | I don’t need to travel to see people from around the world. I just need to step out my front door. My next-door neighbors are Ukrainian immigrants. As you can imagine, they are distraught right now seeing the invasion of their home country. The house next to them is occupied by a Muslim family of Kurdish immigrants, who fled the terrors of Saddam Hussein. We’ve become good friends with them and they often bring us delicious meals of chicken biryani and dolma. A few houses past them lives a family of immigrants from China. The suburbs are often portrayed as monolithic and white. But as my suburban context shows, this is changing. It all provides enriching cross-cultural friendships. And it means the church has exciting new opportunities to ministry to immigrants from all over the world. Our resource, Ministry to Refugees and Immigrants is designed to help you reach out to these folks. It will help you gain insight into the cross-cultural ministry opportunities that are there and instruct you on how you should approach them. And while we’re on the subject, I want to encourage you to read this inspiring report: Moldova Welcomes 100K Ukraine Refugees, with Evangelicals Opening Doors. |
