Over the summer, you will work to build relationships with International students with the intention of sharing the gospel and starting Evangelistic Bible Studies. Students also like to visit local parks, beaches, and cities like Philadelphia, Washington DC, or NYC. EAST AFRICAN REFUGEESLocation: Columbus, Ohio
27657 Team of 4 Field cost: $1600 plus round trip travel costs His light, His love, and His joy are breaking into the darkness through friendships. The team task is to become community with refugee families who have lived in the Midwest for up to twenty years while maintaining traditional dress, cooking, and folk Islam practices. The children in this neighborhood are second generation to live in the USA. Few have ever visited Africa. Their English skills are significantly higher quality than their parents. They are obedient to traditions out of respect, but their hearts and minds are becoming western. Their souls are confused, conflicted, and could be ripe for harvest. Part of the training will be to learn and understand shame-honor based cultures and to use biblical stories in context of an honor-shame mentality. Parents tenaciously hold to tradition, many fathers still follow Sharia, Islamic law, and mothers have horror stories of fleeing Somalia, Ethiopia, and Kenya as well as heart-breaking stories of shame assimilating into Western culture and American school systems, while trying to learn English to survive. |
