Deuteronomy 10:18-20
King James Version
18 He doth execute the judgment of the fatherless and widow, and loveth the stranger, in giving him food and raiment.
19 Love ye therefore the stranger: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.
20 Thou shalt fear the Lord thy God; him shalt thou serve, and to him shalt thou cleave, and swear by his name.

Leviticus 19:34
Deuteronomy 10:18-20
Today's Mission Scene
1. Globalization
Globalization is the process in which people, ideas and goods spread throughout the world,
spurring more interaction and integration between the world's cultures, governments,
and economies. It is the diminishing politcal, social and economic barriers that
once kept countries and cultures largely separated.
80% are Not invited to an American home.
2. Missions in Reverse
Missions in Reverse - instead of you going to the internationals, the internationals
are coming to you.
60% internationalists come from the 10/40 window.
How to Be a Welcomer
- Have the heart to GOD for All people.
- Be a friend to internationals.
- Be a welcoming church to internationals.
- Visit campuses and get involved in the international student ministries.
- "Adopt" an international student(s).
