The INN: Living Out Loud in Lancaster
The team exists to establish vital churches among unreached diaspora groups in Lancaster, PA. Lancaster was designated the “refugee capital of the US” by the BBC, based on the number of refugees resettled in relation to the total city population. People are coming to Lancaster who once had no hope but are finding new life and hope in Christ.
We are looking for mature Christians with strong interpersonal and relational skills, as well as a desire to share Christ in response to the work of grace in their own life. Imagine serving among refugees, asylum seekers, and immigrants who have never had a conversation with a Christian. Consider the joy of building genuine relationships and sharing with those who have never heard the gospel message.
The team has a special focus on reaching second generation diaspora with the gospel. Many came to the US as children or were born to refugee parents and struggle with living ‘between” two cultures. Unlike their parents, their identity does not revolve around their heritage from their birth country. Our hope is that we will help them find their identity in Christ.
