We have some good news! Akron is the new hometown to this family from the Democratic Republic of Congo. They arrived in the U.S. 6 months ago via Virginia, but recently moved to our city. Why did they move here? They heard stories about the kindness and hospitality of the Akron community from relatives who live in our wonderful city. No one in this family speaks English. Here they are meeting Amanda, the IWC Community Coordinator. She will be partnering them with IWC volunteers to facilitate their new start in Ohio.

Last month, the IWC started offering a basic car maintenance class. Here, an IWC volunteer is meeting with some refugee/immigrant car owners. They are excited to own cars and are eager to learn vehicle maintenance. After a brief lesson on car care, our volunteer will take them through a car care store showing them where they can purchase automobile fluids and other maintenance supplies. Simple car maintenance can save hundreds of dollars in repairs and extend the life of a car. 

There are limitless ways to love, follow, and share Jesus with foreign born in our area. Without the volunteer base at GBC, many refugees and immigrants in our Jerusalem would not hear about Jesus or encounter his loving kindness. 

We have many opportunities to serve these people. One of our greatest needs right now are individuals who would be willing to drive the IWC/GBC van on Sunday mornings providing transportation for refugees to come to worship. Would you be willing to love, follow, and share Jesus by volunteering to be a van driver? If you would like more information, please contact Amanda Stutler.

Bringing joy to the greater Akron area would not be possible without you! Thank you for loving, following, and sharing Jesus at Grace Bible Church.
