Come worship alongside believers from across the world; learn from them; see the Lord and your faith through the eyes of a different culture. This time, we’ll be visiting our East African brothers and sisters at Hoziana Ministries in Phoenix.
Arizona has welcomed more than 108,000 refugees--vetted survivors of war and persecution--from all over the world since 1980, and they're here to stay. These new neighbors come from places like Afghanistan, Burma, the DR Congo, Syria, and dozens of other countries. Come learn how this all works and how YOU can best love your refugee neighbors as they do the hard work of integrating into American society.
History is clear: Whenever the church has aligned itself with worldly, coercive power, it ends up on the wrong side of important justice issues.
But when the church cooperates with God's power through his presence among the least powerful, its witness for Jesus transforms the world into a better place.
Gather together with others doing local refugee ministry: share your experiences, gain new insights from others, pray together, and know you're not alone!
These informal "Share & Care" group meetings occur regularly at varying locations across the valley. There's no commitment and no need to only attend meetings in your geographic area. Join whenever you can!
This time we'll have our friends join us from Area Agency on Aging's Mosaic Elder Refugee Program that provides services and support to elder refugees (60+) living in Maricopa County.
