Boat People

The Boat People is a group of young adults, 20 to 30 somethings, who are all about creating a Godly community. A community where we can do life together, and support and love one another.

Boat people is a term that usually refers to illegal immigrants or asylum seekers who emigrate in numbers in boats that are sometimes old and crudely made, rendering them unseaworthy and unsafe. The term came into common use during the late 1970s with the mass departure of Vietnamese refugees from Communist-controlled Vietnam, following the Vietnam War. (Wikipedia)

Like refugees fleeing a country, our lives are full of turmoil and transition. Many times, espeically as we set out on our own for the first time, we are like refugees entering a new country. We are leaving one world and venturing out into uncharted territory. We are inexperienced with the trials that lay ahead, and normally don't have everything that we need in the way of money, property or relationships. But what we do have is one another and with that we can rely upon each other (as shipmates) to help bear one another's burdens and to encourage one another when things get rough.
