North Africa/Middle East Refugees in the Diaspora

A believer recently met a refugee through a local nonprofit organization that helps to meet physical needs of immigrants without jobs. Unfortunately, this refugee was very “rough around the edges” and wasn’t always polite. In addition, he also had a very poor ability to speak the local language. Meeting with this man proved to be challenging for the believer, but eventually, they came to have a working relationship. One day, the believer saw the refugee talking with another man from his home country. The believer stopped to say hello and introduced himself to the new friend. To his surprise, the new friend had a nearly perfect command of the believer’s language. The believer took this new friend’s phone number and followed up with him later for coffee and conversation. It turns out that the new friend actually didn’t know the refugee at all before that day; he had just happened to meet him. The believer was able to share the gospel with this new friend and now has a great friendship. Please pray that this man will continue this friendship with the believer and that he will repent and believe in the good news of Jesus!
