THE NARROW TIE

In our TOAG group, we are constantly wrestling with how, as followers of Jesus,we can be catalysts for transforming individuals, hearts, families, and communities. Proclaiming the Good News can be a challenge, particularly when working with refugees, because they often have limited English skills due to many challenges they face here in the U.S. However, we know that God is gracious and that He desires for this Clarkston refugee community to be changed by His love and grace. Many of the refugees have fled from places where they have never heard of the truth about Jesus and have experienced extreme trauma and loss. But I believe that by His Grace He has brought them here so they can hear the Truth. So as we have wrestled with this, we have all agreed on one thing: prayer is the key. God hears our prayers and responds (1 John 5:14-15). We want all of our friends, families, and churches to be begging for God to pour out His Spirit in Clarkston. Would you join us in praying?

-Pray as Jesus taught us to pray. God, Your will be done on earth (in Clarkston) as it is in heaven!

-There are many believers among different ethnic groups. There are Arabic, Nepali, Burmese, Kirundi, Amharic, Tigrinya speakers who love Jesus. Pray they'd develop a passion to reach their own people.

-Pray that those working in this community would continue to obediently sow seeds and that yes, they would reap a harvest, too!
