How to Migrate and Thrive!

Tens of millions of people are leaving their homeland migrating around the world every year.  Are you one of them or thinking about migrating?  We would love to see you and your family thrive as you go wherever you are going. 

Did you ever think about the fact that Jesus was a migrant?  Yes he was.  First he migrated from being with his Father, God, in heaven to becoming a human 2,000 years ago in a Jewish family.  But he also migrated as a refugee with his family from Palestine to Egypt as we see in Matthew chapter 2 and then eventually back to Israel.  We know from the gospel of Luke that just like any migrant kid he grew in his relationship with his Father God but also in relationships with the people and culture around him (Luke 2:52).  

Here are some things we want to help you with at Migration Life:  

Discipleship: So much of thriving as you migrate is really just about thrivng as a human being.  God has made us to know him and we "really live" when we are close to God.   We encourage you to start growing close to God by getting more serious today about know God in the Bible.  Psalm 1 says that all people are either more and more shaky and worldly or they are becoming more and more solid like a tree planted by the river bank.  Migration is hard and if you aren't a deep follower of God and know his word you are going to get blown around when times are hard.  Today is a great day to start going deeper!  We can give you more resources to do just that so please message us!  

Culture Basics:  Humans are to culture what fish are to water.  Culture is SO critical to everything about how we live and interact and see the world that its really is like a fish swimming in water.  We don't know we are depending so heavily on our own culture until we are out of it!  We want you to learn some stuff about culture in general and to start to learn more of your own culture so you are aware of why its hard for you when you are a fish on the banks of the other side of the ocean!

Culture Research:  Do you know where you are going yet?  If so we'd love to hear about it.  Also, its time to start learning some things about where you are going in the world.  We want to help you do research on the culture, language, and life of the place you are going!  Tell us what you are learning.  We aren't experts on every place in the world but we might be able to help some and we can definitely help tell you how to reaearch the place you are going.
