Diaspora communities, or “scattered people,” are all around us. They may have moved to our communities as immigrants, sought safety as refugees, come to study as students, or traveled to work in seasonal jobs.
As people move throughout the world, we constantly come in contact with people who may dress differently than us, speak a different language, and eat different food. People from a variety of cultures and faith backgrounds are no longer living across the ocean—they are living across town, across the street, or right next door.
Resonate Global Mission missionaries Ray and Angie DeLange are asking you to pray for Adel (name changed for security), a man who heard the gospel for the very first time.
When Manqoba moved from South Africa to work toward his Ph.D. at Western Michigan University, God started working in his heart. He gave his life to Christ and is now growing in his faith through International Campus Ministry, a Resonate partner at Western Michigan University that ministers with the more than 1,500 international students on campus!
Juana lived in front of a church building for 18 years but never stepped foot inside. She spoke Spanish as her first language, and the church only worshipped in English.
But then one day, there was a knock on her door. People from La Casa de Mi Padre Comunidad Cristiana—a bilingual church plant you support in Fennville, Michigan—came to visit.

The Parks felt the Holy Spirit tugging on their hearts when they began reading the Bible for the first time, but for years they struggled to find a church home in Korea and never felt ready to be baptized. Then Mr. Park’s work in architecture brought them to Japan, and their sporadic church attendance fizzled out entirely.

Even the pandemic couldn’t stop the work of the Spirit from sustaining--and even building--his body through these plants. We hope their stories inspire and encourage you, and we ask that you consider how you can support the plants as they share the gospel through word and deed in their neighborhoods.
