Migration Crises & Relief Project
Account #: 89832
Project Description:
The Migration Crisis and Relief Project is designed to meet two fundamental needs of internationals who either have migrated to or are migrating through southern Spain. The first fundamental need is to aid in the crisis stage of migration. These are those beginning days and weeks after first landing in southern Spain. The second fundamental aspect of this project is to assist those internationals we meet by providing relief for the situations in their lives through humanitarian programs and spiritual outreach.
Project Goals:
- Meet the physical needs of the people who migrate into and through southern Spain and be the presence of Christ to them amidst their situation.
- Collaborate with the local Red Cross and other organizations that minister to the immigrant populations in the Almería region.
- Create ways to incorporate hands on ministry experiences through mission trips or projects for churches in the U.S. to participate in meeting the human and spiritual needs of the international peoples here in southern Spain.
- Establish this ministry then encourage and enable local churches to participate. Eventually the goal will be to hand over parts of this ministry to local church congregations.
