Refugee Worker- Aktion Integration, PRF Nr. 9224, please mention if interested

Contribution to Strategy:

In line with our desire to share the gospel with those who have not heard, this is a unique opportunity to serve and seek opportunities to work with churches seeking to share the Gospel to the flood of migrants and refugees. Many of the migrants come from countries where it is impossible or difficult to send gospel workers. In their own countries, they have had no or very little opportunity to hear the gospel. Most migrants coming into Germany are from a Muslim background.

Responsibilities:

- Minister and help in camps where migrants are accommodated by the UNs and the German government. Some of these ministry centres are run by churches but not all. These migrants/refugees and asylum seekers come from various middle eastern countries such as Syria, Iraq, Iran, Afganistan, Pakistan and others.

-Be a friend to migrants/refugees and asylum seekers as they are very keen to make friends with westerners and learn German.

- People with Arabic, Farsi or Dari language skills are urgently needed.

- Most of these migrants come out of very traumatic situations. Workers need to be sensitive and be able to show empathy and care.

- Help with integration of refugees: -Support of current programs and establish new ones, cultivate relationships particularly in Muslim and Yazidi communities, house groups and services in different languages and cultural forms, share the Gospel and discipleship
