The INN: Metro Philly Coffee Shop
As we focus on reaching Arabic speakers and Muslims from the Middle East and North Africa, the coffee shop in Metro Philly provides an ideal setting for building relationships within the community. The coffee shop is also a good financial investment that we trust will help fund The INN’s ministry in Metro Philly, as well as ongoing ministry in the Middle East and North Africa.
We seek to engage refugees from around the globe and are looking for teammates with a heart gripped with God’s love for those who have not had access to the Truth.
Creating a comfortable environment where people can gather is key to developing trusting relationships that lead to spiritual engagement. Our two-story shop provides a peaceful setting for quiet, safe conversations. Holding up to fifty people, there is room to host culture discussions, ESL classes, Bible studies, and small group meetings. Through this engagement, our prayer is that many will come to faith in Christ, be discipled, and that a church will be nurtured and planted that will multiply in both the US and in the homelands of those we serve.
We are looking for new team members to join us! We are specifically looking for workers interested in living and serving in the greater Philadelphia area who will utilize the coffee shop to grow deep, spiritual relationships with our Arabic-speaking and Muslim neighbors.
Join the team and use your skills, passions, and spiritual gifts to create ministry opportunities to serve the nations among us! Formal Bible training and an exposure to missiological principles are helpful but not required.
