Prayer
I believe in prayer. I believe God wants to meet us in our heartbreak over the injustices of this world, and I believe God wants to lead us loosening the chains of injustice and setting the oppressed free (Isaiah 58:6). Sometimes a guide can be helpful, and I have so appreciated this 7-day prayer booklet from Holy Resistance.
Organizations to Support

Local Service
I encourage you to search for a nearby World Relief office or find out what churches and organizations offer ESL classes. Schools, churches, and nonprofits serving immigrant-rich neighborhoods near you may also have volunteer opportunities available.
