Praying for Internationals in Montgomery

Are you aware that there are many people here in Montgomery from other countries thanks to our military bases, universities and businesses? There are people here in Montgomery from other places that have NEVER heard the gospel before. Will you be one who will share it with them?

One place that shares the gospel in a very tangible way is the Conversation English School that Montgomery Baptist Association runs and has run for the last 25+ years. About 200 students come(mostly spouses of military and business executives)each year to learn English so that they can function here in the states. At the school, they not only learn English but find new friends who help them wade through coming to a new country and that entails. They also hear the good news of Christ through actions and word. Many teachers share that their students have needs just like those here in Montgomery and they get the privilege to help them through difficult times.

Along with Conversational English, CE School provides a preschool program where the kids of the students get to learn some English. It also provides transporation since many of the wives do not have transportation during the day. Vans from local churches provide a drive and van on Thursday mornings to pick up and take students home after class.

Would you be interested in helping CE students in a tangible way? They are in desperate need of at least one more 15 passenger van and driver for this school year(from September to May) on Thursday mornings. ANY Christian church can volunteer with this need. Call Lisa Rose at 334-271-6794 for more information if you are interested. What a way to show God's love to others who are new to this country!

Pray for:

1. ALL churches in Montgomery who have ESL or CE classes for foreign born students. God has brought the world to Montgomery..lets not lose the opportunity to share His love with people from all over the world.

2. For those who are our guests in Montgomery...that they will meet a person here(maybe one of you) who can share God's love with them both in tangible and verval ways.

3. For Christians hearts to change and lay down any prejudices that we may have toward others who are not from here. We are to ABOVE the world according to Jesus and Love God and Love Others!!

"This is my commandment that you love one another, that your joy may be full. John 15:12
