The Nations Are Already Here
We equip churches to reach, disciple, and send the 1.5 generation as leaders in God’s global mission.
Refugees are often seen
only as a mission field.
But what if they are God’s strategy for global mission?
Across the world—and here in North America—millions of displaced people carry languages, cultures, and connections that reach nations we cannot easily access.
360 Ministries exists to shift the perspective:
From seeing refugees as recipients…
to equipping them as missionaries.
How to Get Involved
This is not just ministry. It is a multiplying movement.
Reach
Engage refugee communities with the gospel through intentional presence, service, and relationship.
Raise
Disciple and develop 1.5 generation leaders from within their communities.
Release
Send leaders locally and globally to multiply mission across cultures and nations.
The 1.5 Generation
The 1.5 generation—those who live between cultures—are uniquely positioned for mission.
They understand:
- The language of their parents
- The culture of their new home
- The tension of identity, belonging, and calling
We believe they are not overlooked—they are strategically placed by God.
A Pathway for Churches
Churches want to engage—but often don’t know where to begin.
Understand
Build biblical and cultural foundation
Engage
Begin relational, local outreach
Develop
Disciple and raise leaders
Send
Release leaders into mission
What Makes Our Ministry Unique?
What began as hands-on ministry among refugee communities has grown into a model for churches everywhere.
Through years of engagement and discipleship, one truth became clear:
Refugee ministry is not just local outreach—it is a global mission strategy.
Now, 360 Ministries exists to equip and multiply this model across churches, cities, and nations.

The Nations Are Already Here
The question is not whether God is moving.
The question is whether we are ready to join Him.

“I’ve been in ministry for almost fifty years and of all the people I’ve met, no one has influenced and inspired me more than Samuel Rai. From refugee to Doctor of Educational Ministry, he has accomplished so much against all odds. He has spoken into my life so many times and influenced me in ways he doesn’t even know. Dr. Sam has never forgotten where he has come from and has helped countless others understand how to draw closer to Jesus and overcome any obstacle.
