Being a Part of God's Work in the World: Welcome

Often we think of worldwide missions as something missionaries go somewhere else overseas and do.  But this neglects the fact that there are many from all over the world all around us every day!

WELCOME
We have the privilege in the US of people from around the world coming to us. It is estimated that more than 20 million internationals visit the US every single year, and there are hundreds of thousands of international students who are studying at American universities. Are we welcoming, and loving them well? Are we taking the opportunity to share Jesus with them?

A few ways to Welcome:
  • Become friends with an international student.
  • Go to international holiday events to meet internationals.
  • Help someone learn English by setting aside a regular time to talk.
  • Offer rides to internationals to the store (and help them learn to shop!).
  • Help internationals get to know the area by giving them a tour of the.
