Apologies for the email blast, but just wanted you to be aware of (and participate in) World Refugee Sunday, June 16^th or 23^rd, 2013. This is an opportunity to pray for those forcibly displaced “people on the move” around the world, as well as raise awareness and explore possible ministry. There are approximately 50 million people in that category (according to the United Nations), but there are literally millions more unaccounted for.

Three ways you can be involved:

• Participate!  Click this link (http://refugeehighway.net/resources/world-refugee-sunday) for many free resources (posters/flyers/bulletin inserts, prayer points, media presentations, etc.) available for individuals, churches, fellowships, small groups, etc.  The main poster is available in virtually all major languages (attached in English).  Though an entire service can be structure around the theme of refugees and the opportunity they offer us, even just spending a few minutes in prayer is a great connection to the global Christian community.  We are expecting hundreds of thousands around the world to participate in some way.

I would be more than happy to interact with you about theis. Thanks for listening – and caring for those most vulnerable in our world.
