Best Practices for Helping Displaced People
We, at RAIN, are deeply saddened and concerned for the tragic situation in Afghanistan.
Join us in praying for the Afghan people. We are praying for those who will stay and those who are being displaced.
RAIN is currently working with CAMA as we prepare information and training to help resource Alliance Churches who want to engage.
The purpose of RAIN is three-fold
Together, Alliance churches welcoming our global neighbors with the love and compassion of Christ, as He has welcomed us into His Kingdom, is the heart of this network.
We focus on equipping our Alliance churches to engage their local global neighbors through English as a Second Language (ESL), secondary resettlement services and other welcoming ministries
We partner with academic organizations to train practitioners worldwide in ministry strategies that address the needs of traumatized refugees and immigrants, and those who serve them.
Pray for RAIN… as we believe God for Psalms 2:8
“Ask of Me, and I will make the nations your inheritance, and the ends of the earth your possession.”
