Mission Opportunity Right in Our Backyard
Immediate Need: Housing for an Afghan Refugee Family
Sometimes we go out into the world to do missions. Sometimes the world comes to us. If all the pieces fall into place, OHC could be the hands and feet of Jesus for an Afghan refugee family right here at home.
Lutheran Community Services Northwest is helping stabilize hundreds of Afghans who fled their home country by providing at least 2 to 3 months of support. Churches and other groups can walk alongside refugees by helping with transportation, tutoring, cultural orientation, household furnishings and the gift of time.
The first piece that must fall into place is housing. What's needed, short-term: a host home or accessory dwelling unit for up to 90 days. What's needed, long-term: an apartment or other property at an affordable rent.
If we can at least provide a temporary home, many more good gifts will follow -- and OHC can live out the word of Hebrews (our current sermon series)! --
"Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it. (Hebrews 13:2)
