Welcoming Ministry Partner
Envision Atlanta focuses on ministry to refugees in the city of Clarkston, Georgia. It is the most diverse square mile in the world, with about 200 different cultures represented. The unofficial statistic is that about 18,000 refugees are living in 38 apartment complexes. So far, we have found 90 unreached people groups. Many of them are unengaged people groups.
The felt need for these refugees is a true friendship with an American, so we minister to them as friends and neighbors. We have intentionally rented apartments among them, where they live, and we run our ministries in their midst — they don’t have to come to us. We seek to help our friends with their needs — ESL, after-school programs, citizenship classes, jobs that allow them to be with their families more, trauma healing focused on children, and ultimately their spiritual needs, as we introduce them to Jesus and the relationship they can have with Him.
