Be intentional in inviting and including international friends, co-workers, classmates, and neighbors into your church and activities. Building bridges through personal invitations helps foster understanding and creates a welcoming environment for those from diverse backgrounds. By making a conscious effort to reach out, your church can become a place where everyone feels valued and included.

Consider dedicating a special service or Sunday to recognize and celebrate what God is doing among the nations coming to the USA. Highlight stories of international believers and ministries, showcase cultural performances, or share videos that illustrate God's work across different countries. These moments encourage your congregation to embrace a global perspective and deepen their appreciation for God's worldwide mission.

Invite internationals to bring dishes from their unique cuisines to share in a church meal or potluck. Offer them opportunities to talk about their food and how they enjoyed such meals in their homeland or churches abroad. If your church has few internationals, encourage members to prepare international dishes to create a multicultural feast. This sharing fosters cultural understanding and fellowship among all attendees.

Invite internationals within your congregation to participate in worship through roles such as greeting, ushering, singing in the worship team, reading Scripture, praying, or sharing testimonies. Encourage them to wear their national attire to celebrate their heritage. If you lack local internationals willing to serve, consider partnering with an international church nearby and inviting their members or pastor to assist in your service.

Prepare a handout with the Scripture reading of the day in English and the various languages represented in your church. Read a key verse aloud in multiple languages or invite a congregation member to do so. This practice can promote diversity and help everyone feel included in worship, emphasizing the beauty of God's kingdom across cultures.

Identify and prepare specific prayer requests for each nation represented in your congregation. Use slides or handouts to facilitate this, and take time during the service to pray for these nations. Focused prayer demonstrates care and intercession for global communities, aligning your church with God's heart for the nations.

Encourage your congregation to consider ways they can impact international communities locally. They might establish an English Conversation Club, adopt a refugee family for a two-year commitment, donate ethnic non-perishable foods to the food pantry, or volunteer with local ESL programs. These actions help build meaningful relationships and serve as practical expressions of Christ’s love across cultures.

Take up a special offering designated for Intercultural Ministries. Funds can be directed to the Ethnic and Language Fellowships of the Assemblies of God or to the US Missions Intercultural Ministries department. Such giving supports global and local intercultural outreach, helping churches become more diverse and inclusive in their mission efforts.
