A cup of coffee.
A circle of support.
Start a Lydia Coffee in your city or region and connect
people who walk alongside foreigners.
Five simple steps
-
Start locally
Any Nordic Refuge Conference attendee can start a local Lydia Coffee.
Choose a welcoming place and a first date in your city or region. -
Invite local co-workers
Bring together pastors, volunteers, people with migration experience
and trusted local supporters. Begin with the people you already know. -
Meet once or twice a year
Meet informally over coffee. Share experiences, listen to one another,
exchange ideas and contacts, and offer encouragement. -
Build a trusted network
With permission, keep a record of local contacts and offers of support.
As relationships grow, listen to local needs and help one another respond. -
Share local learning
Share local questions and learning at the yearly Nordic Refuge Conference.
Bring new relationships, ideas and resources back to strengthen local work.
