Lift Off! 40 Days of Sacrifice - Day 14
Day 14: Reaching Out Tip #1Matthew 2:13-14
Now when they had gone, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, "Get up! Take the Child and His mother and flee to Egypt, and remain there until I tell you; for Herod is going to search for the Child to destroy Him." So Joseph got up and took the Child and His mother while it was still night, and left for Egypt.
Identify faithful ministries already doing good work among the foreign-born in your city. Especially if your church is small, there’s no reason to reinvent the wheel if there are already ministries that can facilitate the kind of relational engagement you’re aiming for. Chances are these ministries exist in your city and they need volunteers. You’re looking for an individual or team already embedded in an immigrant community who wants to hand off some of their relationships. You might start by checking out organizations like World Relief, InterFACE Ministries, and the North American Mission Board. (tgc.org)
Take a moment to do some research on a ministry that cares for refugees. Learn about them and their major concerns and efforts. Then build your prayer based on those needs of the ministry. Pray on behalf of these organizations so that they can minister in the best way possible. Pray that God would watch over these ministries to great work for Him.
