Touching refugees with God’s love and truth
Refugees resettled in to your community or neighborhood are a unique blessing and privilege God has provided for you. This workshop will help you to understand why God has brought them in to your sphere of influence, a few cultural truths that are essential for connecting with them, and a three-phased method for engaging them with His love and the truth of the Gospel.
Ben Spector
Language & Culture: It’s Importance and Our Response
God made himself known to us in the person of Jesus Christ in ways that make sense to us, in a language we can understand. He relates to us personally on the deepest levels. We want to seek to do the same when we minister in cultures that are not our own. In this workshop you will learn why language and culture is vital to foreign missionary work and receive practical advice on how to approach such a grand task for the glory of God.
