What We Do
Following the Good Samaritan story, we befriend and neighbor as Jesus calls us to do. We engage in the sacred process of building community in three core ways:
Around the table
We follow Jesus across dividing walls and to create space for dialogue and sharing stories, shifting paradigms, and bringing down walls. We visit lots of homes. We invite others into our homes. We share meals and Scripture stories. We seek opportunities to pray with our friends and help them discover all of who Jesus is.
Community gatherings
We host events such as English camps, community dinners, and soccer tournaments. By bringing the community together in meaningful ways, we help break down barriers and have the unique opportunity to bring the hope of the Gospel in the context of relationship to our Arab friends.
Compassionate action
We believe in the power of coming alongside. We listen to the needs of the refugee community, especially lower- income families, and seek a Spirit-led response to help reduce vulnerabilities and elevate wellbeing. We endeavor to advocate, encourage, and help in whatever ways make sense: tutoring, helping with paperwork, transportation, assisting with births, connecting families to community resources, and more.
