Hollywood Prayer Network On BetrayalSample

DO NOT BETRAY THE REFUGEE                             

Film seems to be a medium designed for betrayal and violence. Nick Cave

Game of Thrones,' people say that it's a fantasy series, but it's a hell of a lot more than that...primarily it's about family; it's power and betrayal and jealousy. It's all those wonderful things that a fantastic drama is about. Liam Cunningham   

PRAY:  Father in Heaven, I call out to You to give me an understanding of refugees and my part in protecting them. I need You to show me how I can be their shelter from whatever is trying to threaten and/or destroy them. I need Your wisdom on the role that refugees play in my life. Do I pray for them?  Do I actively help people who have been displaced?   I don't want to betray them. I am crying out to You because I don't know what to do!    

REFLECT:  Christians in America are often sheltered from the injustices happening in other parts of the world. And one of the great needs are to help refugees who have been betrayed by their governments. Christians and non-believers alike are thrown out of their countries and have nowhere to go. What do you think your place is dealing with the world's refugees? Are you called to take action? Can you pray? Have you thought about this as a betrayal? Jesus tells us that we are to help the orphans, widows and refugees.  How does this aspect of betrayal impact your life?    

ACT:   Can you start a discussion with people close to you about this new look on refugees? It's a hot topic in our nation, both in churches and in politics and yet has anyone ever thought of it as a betrayal? You may not know a refugee personally but you can bring up the conversation that as a Christian we need to pray for, protect and/or help refugees who have been betrayed by the very people who should be helping them. Even opening up the discussion can be a way for you to help with this problem in our world.
