ABOUT US
Love New Internationals is a non-profit organization that equips local churches to serve new internationals in their neighbourhoods and to be intentionally welcoming for immigrants.
We equip churches to do demographic research to understand the immigrants in their neighbourhoods, create settlement programming to help new immigrants adapt well to life in a new country, and then help those immigrants connect with mature believers in our churches who will show them the love of Christ.
We equip churches to begin a Bridges class that provides a gentle and non-threatening introduction to the life and teaching of Jesus.
HOW WE CAN HELP
Last year, we connected with over 200 new churches & ministries. Since we began this ministry in 2014, we have worked with over 700 churches & ministries in 20 countries around the world.
​
We help churches connect with immigrants in their communities, and encourage them to experiment with a 3-Stage ministry.
​
Let us know how we can come along side you and your ministry to help immigrants in your neighborhood find community, settle well and, for those with a spiritual interest, progress along a pahtway to Jesus.
Ministry Model
Love New Internationals encourages a ministry model that creates for immigrants a natural pathway to Jesus. This ministry model includes settlement programming, spiritual programming, and the Bridges class, which bridges the gap between settlement and spiritual programming.
Services
Whether you're interested in launching a new ministry, leading a seminar or class, researching your target demographic, or you need some coaching, Love New Internationals can help!
