Akron Bhutanese Assembly- Bhutanese dance workshop
Internationals and Refugees from the nations
When the Lord first gave the vision for YWAM Akron, He said this was a city of refuge. He led us to scriptures about these cities in the Bible. GOD IS OUR REFUGE! Not only do many people need to find refuge in JESUS that are from Akron, but many are being placed here from OTHER nations that need to know the love and acceptance of Jesus! At that time we had no idea that we would have over 1,000 Nepali and Bhutanese refugees in Akron in 2012-2013.
Matthew 25:35 "I was a stranger and you welcomed me."
We have done & plan on doing a few things with Akron Bhutanese Assembly. We have been very involved with leadership training and building relationships with the Bhutanese and Nepali Christians and pastors, encouraging them as they planted this new church & have settled into Akron over the past years. Such a joy to have in the city.
We are also looking to help with practical needs as we can. When things begin to open up a bit more ....due to COVID 19, we will have fresh information in near future.
The International Institute is Akron’s placement agency for the refugees. Building Hope in the City is also working to help the refugees in our region.
