Refugee Awareness Sabbath June 18, 25, 2011
Plan a program at your church!                                       Real People Real Needs

In God's providence, three million refugees have come to North America. Yet many of us are not aware of the of refugees in our own communities, the odds they struggle against, and God's purpose in their coming here.  Adventist Refugee and Immigrant Ministries invites churches across North America to remember the 42 million displaced people worldwide, including 3 million refugees right here in North America on Sabbath, June 18 and/or June 25, 2011 in conjunction with World Refugee Day designated by the United Nations and celebrated annually on June 20.

Involve Your Church!   Possibilities are endless!  Pause for a moment of silent prayer for refugees or fill a Sabbath with activities dedicated to building awareness of the plight of refugees and our God-given opportunity and mission to reach out to these "strangers in our midst".

"God in His providence has brought men to our very doors, and thrust them, as it were, into our arms, that they might learn the truth, and be qualified to do a work we could not do in getting the light to men of other tongues"  ChS 200

"Success in any line demands a definite aim.  He who would achieve true success in life must keep steadily in view the aim worthy of his endeavor.  Such an aim is set before the youth of today.  The heaven-appointed purpose of giving the gospel to the world in this generation is the noblest that can appeal to any human being."  Ed 362
