Imagine: What if it were you? -- The whole wide world is here: Are we missing it? -- Loving the stranger: The why -- The need to "bridge people" -- Embrace the awkward -- The ministry of welcome -- The ministry of presence -- Hiding in plain sight: Where do I find them? -- 3 simple tools for loving the stranger -- As you go: Finding time to reach the nation -- Moving from acquiantances to"feels like family" friends -- Roadblocks to effective ministry to internationals -- But do we know who they are? Political objectives to loving the stranger -- What about the believers? -- Sharing the Gospel -- Addressing the "what if" questions?
Most American Christians think that helping immigrants is a good idea in theory, but few actually get involved in the ministry of welcome because they feel afraid, concerned, or overwhelmed by busyness. Loving the Stranger addresses these fears in an understanding way, answers these concerns in a way that will resonate regardless of people's political convictions, and lays out simple ways to begin welcoming immigrants in the midst of our busy lives by simply welcoming them into our lives. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0692593497/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_image?ie=UTF8&psc=1
