Acteens will be living out James 1:22 during Spring Break as they minister with the Family Heritage Foundation (FHF) in Clarkston, Georgia. The Family Heritage Foundation is a Christian Ministry focused on serving at-risk children, underprivileged children, and refugee families. FHF offers after-school programs, summer programs, computer training, youth development programs, and micro-enterprise training programs. The Executive Director of this ministry is funded in part through the North American Mission Board.
Atlanta is home to people from 145 countries and 761 different ethnic groups (immigrants, refugees, and international students). These groups include Nepalis, Cambodians, Iranians, Somalis, Burmese, Bhutanese, Sudanese, Laotians, Indonesians, and numerous others. Many refugee families live in the Clarkston area because of affordable housing and close access to the transit system.
Pray for our mission team of 16 girls and 3 leaders as we go:
March 28: Community Prayer Walk
March 29: Children’s Fun Day at Foxtrail Apartment Complex where we will minister to children of refugees and their families
March 30: Worship at Clarkston International Church
Pray that God will open the door for the team to make a spiritual impact on the children and their families as we work to create positive relationships between the FHF and the families of these children. Ask God to provide us with divine appointments as we minister in this short amount of time. Pray that the eyes and hearts of our team will be impacted as we are introduced to people of many nations.
