Struggling
refugee families fill our streets every day. There will be
approximately 3,000 more new families arriving this year in the North
Dallas area. “…open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest.” John 4:35 POBLO-TX is right in the heart of the metroplex where these refugee families first come to know this new land.
There's
no denying God has brought the nations to our front doors. But how do
we begin to witness to all of these refugee families? By being able to
reach out and help them with their needs - thus presenting us the
opportunity to share the gospel of Jesus Christ! "...I
am sending you to them to open their eyes and turn them away from
darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may
receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified
by faith in me." Act 26:17
We
are seeking a variety of ways to make a difference for these new
families that are new to our streets and city. Yes, there are refugee
services that help and there is government assistance, but only for a short time. Even after
finding employment, most barely have enough to live on for their daily
living needs and expenses.
· Pray daily for them.
· Organize a food drive with your church, school and neighbors for POBLO-TX food pantry at Our Redeemer in Dallas.
· Donate your used car and receive a tax write off from POBLO-TX .
· Donate your used furniture and/or small appliances/ electronic (we will pick up).
· Donate your used clothing, blankets and small space heaters.
· Help reduce their utility bills: Electricity (especially in winter/summer): $ 250/month, water, phone: $60/month.
When you are supporting POBLO-TX you are spiritually adopting a refugee family in Christ and you are indeed planting Churches of All Nations.
Without Jesus Christ these refugees (lost families) will miss the best in this life and everything in the next!
