Partnering with Link
The opportunities and needs among us are greater than one we can do alone. And we would love to explore what partnering with your church might look like.
For approved church partners, there are two ways to go about it, and the option is up to your leadership team to decide.
Church led
This is best if you have existing relationships with internationals and want to do your own vetting and training of those who serve them.
What does it mean to be “faith based”?
We are grateful recipients of the radical love and hospitality of God, and we cannot help but respond. Our love for God and others drives us; and we cannot change who we are and be silent or inactive.
However, this does not mean we force others to think like us… that is not loving. On the contrary, we delight in asking questions… we love to listen, to engage, to understand.
What does it mean to be “for Internationals”?
First, it means that we love and enjoy them! We have the conviction that they are not projects, but they are beautiful people who enrich our lives. Although we know they need Jesus as we do, we also believe they are made in the image of God.
Being “for” them also means recognizing that being an outsider is hard and we want to help. Some of us recently came from another country, and all of us who are involved know that we are spiritual foreigners here on earth. We long to see our international friends, co-workers, family, & neighbors thrive in every way…spiritually, relationally, vocationally, etc.
