Why not designate a special service or Sunday at your church to recognize and celebrate what God is doing among the hundreds of nations that are coming to the USA?

What is an “Intercultural Ministries Sunday?” On this day we recognize and celebrate what God is doing among the hundreds of nations and languages that are coming to the USA. Hopefully we already have internationals in our churches. And, in some settings, our churches are hosting international congregations in our buildings, or we may see a neighboring church is hosting a church from another country or language group. As well, our children may have classmates from other countries. If we don’t have internationals in our congregation already, we probably will within the next five to ten years. Let’s welcome them in the Name of Jesus!
