Arrive Ministries

http://www.worldreliefmn.org/Had to do some personal homework after spotting the logo on shirts and asking a few questions.I was very visibly moved when I saw a group of Somali refugees come into MSP late in the evening last week, just about the same time as I arrived. A cadre from World Relief was on hand to assist. We were all congregated by baggage claim #9, and immediately, I thought of the Lost Boys of Sudan documentary, and the many, many books that I have read on various countries' histories in Africa.I tried to move to the side and just observe the advice and support being given to these new visitors to this country, and watched their reaction, attempting to read their faces. I even helped one fellow brother locate his suitcase on the belt. Were it not for people like Pastor Trotter who bother to care and enable those without to begin to start a life with, the world would be a much poorer place, in more sense than one. Taking action and participating in aiding and giving hope to the most vulnerable has always been one of my loves (as well as other social justice and human rights abuse issues). World Relief empowers those who are forgotten to feel remembered and cared for.This was my very first experience upon touching down in MN, and already, I was a huge fan of this wonderful spot in MidAmerica.
