“I was a stranger and you invited me in” Matthew 25:35
The world as we know it is changing. There are more than 1 billion people – 12% of humanity – on the move as external and internal migrants fleeing persecution, poverty, war or as economic migrants. Some move out of their homelands to displacement camps in neighbouring countries like Ethiopia and Uganda. Some seek asylum and become refugees to Europe, as well as those coming to Canada. What are we doing with these God-given opportunities to build relationships and present the Gospel to ‘strangers’ in our midst?
Join us for an hour of celebration. Hear what God is doing in and through SIM workers to reach the diaspora with the Gospel.
