ADOPT-A-FAMILY… The Mission Field is HERE!
Through the Lao Church, a team of people including Pastor I.I. (Inthava
Inthisane), John Brand, and Sheri Jennings are hoping to connect 19 families
from Burma who speak the Kaliang dialect to 19 American families who will
befriend them and help them become acclimated to American culture and ways,
as they love them with the love of Christ. They have been attending the Lao
services where the message is translated into Kaliang for them, and their
children have been coming to our Kidstreet even though they do not understand
our language and customs. Some of these Burmese people are Buddhists,
but are being drawn in by the unconditional love shown by the Lao congregation.
How can you help?
1. Become one of the 19 Primary Sponsor Families or
2. Become a Primary Single Adult team (6 of them are single adults)
3. Volunteer to become part of a sponsor network to provide for needs of
the families
You will be trained appropriately and given help with suggested activities.
There will be sessions in learning Kaliang where you will help them learn English.
Interested?
Contact John Brand at 431-0495, brandj@northstate.net or sign up in the foyer.
**The Kidstreet Ministry is also participating in this service project by bringing "Giving
Jars" full of loose change each week. YOU can be involved by counting money and
buying items that are needed for these children! If your child still needs a jar, please
contact Sheri Jennings on Sunday morning in the Kidstreet hall.
