Being an immigrant, migrant worker, or refugee in a new land can be lonely, depressing, and often times just plain scary.  Through our work in the Almería province of southern Spain we have seen hundreds of internationals live through this type of despair just hoping beyond hope that they can find a job, a friend, or a meal.  This project “mi casa es tu casa” is aimed at providing a place of rest and help for those internationals struggling to find a way.  We hope that this ‘casa’ will provide hope and a sense of ‘home’ to those that have left their homeland and families in Africa.  We also hope that this ‘casa’ will be a place of rest and spiritual growth for missional church team groups who come to work alongside our ministry.  It will be their ‘home away from home’ in a sense too.

 

Project Goals:

• Provide a safe, immigrant friendly site for groups to meet, study, and fellowship together.
• Create an easily accessible food and clothing distribution site that will allow us to track and follow-up with those that we minister.
• Establish a place that would facilitate congregational mission involvement by providing a readily available place to house volunteer teams who will work in the ministries of this center and with our other projects through the missional church programs.
