Be a person of impact as you follow the Person who made the most impact.

You were destined for impact.. yup, with purity and power for a purpose. It's for Christ the perfect Fisher cuz we love Him.. a mission for fishin'!
“Let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds.” Hebrews 10:24
To the degree that we long for the next world where Jesus now is, we become able to combat the hypnotizing influences of this world ..and to help others through His Word. He fished for souls and we too can do this in Him.. His way. 
The Christian life is meant to be lived in the presence of Christ and in the company of others, not alone. It's for a world-changing and edifying kinda purpose! Do you overflow with joy--do walk tight with Christ? Do you overflow with a impacting sort of... an anointed Christian witness for those lost people around you? Do you look to God to meet all or half of your needs as you reach out in His Name? How much to you pray for those people that Jesus died for? He can give us His compassion. 
God loves you and he also loves refugees (we are seeing more and more of them here and I'm not condoning the policies that got them where they are in any Land). You know that God wants us all humbly and legally in the middle of His will. Bless-able. When you run into some where you live, tactfully, graciously, clearly, respectfully share Christ's love and Gospel Message with them. Tell em about his Cross and empty tomb. Offer to pray with them on the spot--right there if they express a need. Let God lead you.
Everyone needs a Savior. No matter how good (or bad) we've been, we all need Jesus to get us into Heaven. He is the only way--He said that. It's interesting to me how God gave His Church the Great Commission with a heart for those of every nation, but now the nations are arriving in our Land. Now.. we can wisely witness to them by deed and words. I'm sure many of them would not be dangerous to your family, and are open to hear the truth of eternal life.
"But the plans of the Lord stand firm forever, the purposes of His heart through all generations." Psalm 33:11
