And in my opinion mentoring is strategic for that - they are most open to the gospel in their first 6 -12 months in the US, after that they start to adopt the US materilist worldview and something changes. So - by being a mentor you're able to walk side-by-side with them in their first few months. Also - when you work with an organization like World Relief you're working directly with Christians, but the government usually matches Christian refugees with WR. By working with a non-Christian organization I'm matched with more Muslims, and while I can't openly prostelytize (sp?) while I work officially for them, I can share my life and how my faith affects me, and after a few months their relationship with the refugee organization ends and I can interact with them freely. <br /><br />It's cool.Kaciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06374573594800663980noreply@blogger.com
