Help Karenni Worship in their own Mother Tongue
One of the most exciting opportunities for church planting today are among the Karenni refugees who are being resettled in America. The Karenni are located in areas where foreigners are not allowed to go but God has opened the door for these people from the 1040 window to come right to the doorsteps of American, New Zealand, Finnish, etc. churches. At Calvary Baptist Church in Winston Salem, NC, a weekly gathering of over 100 Karenni people (animist, Catholic, Baptist) meet together and learn about God. Whereas in the refugee camp, a Catholic or animist might not come to a Baptist church, the situation in America is a new opportunity. If American churches will seize the opportunity, it's a tremendous chance to love and share Christ with them. Here are a few suggestions for how you can help the Karenni refugees in your area to begin a mother-tongue gathering/Sunday School:
