Good Neighbor Team Training

Friendship House and Restoring Hope Roanoke are partnering to offer Good Neighbor Team training. Good Neighbor Teams will befriend and support refugee families living in Friendship House's transitional housing. This training is a requirement for those who will join Friendship House's Good Neighbor Teams, but anyone who is interested in learning more about ministering to refugees is invited to attend. 

The event will be held in the Overlook Room at Parkway Church on the Mountain. Childcare will be provided.

Dinner will be served. There is no charge, but donations are accepted to help offset the costs of food and training material. ($10 suggested donation.) Donations may be brought to the event (check payable to Friendship House or cash) or through Paypal, Venmo, or Cashapp at https://friendshiphouseroanoke.org/donate/. 

Topics will include:

- Biblical background of welcoming refugees

- The refugee process (and how this may differ for different groups)

- Background on Muslims and culture

- Ministries of mercy, empowerment, and friendship

- Developing friendships with our new neighbors: our posture towards them, practical ways to engage, and how to share your faith

If you have any questions, please email Rachael@restoringhoperoanoke.org or fhroanoke@gmail.com.  Registration will close on Monday, 11/29.
