Welcoming the Stranger: A Biblical Response to Immigration
October 21 // 9 a.m. - 12 p.m.
As local churches seek to welcome, serve, and learn from their refugee and immigrant neighbors, many encounter challenges that prevent our new neighbors from fully integrating and flourishing in our communities. We invite you to join us for a conversation in exploring how the church and the local community can provide love, welcome and support to our newest neighbors through advocating for their holistic well-being as they struggle with unique vulnerabilities.
Join us as we explore God’s heart for the sojourner and how we can share the love of Jesus to our neighbors in both word and deed.
Special Guests:
- Bri Stensrud (Women of Welcome)
- Pastor Charles Kenya (Neema Church)
- Kristel Acevedo (Transformation Church)
- Dr. Tony Beam (North Greenville University)
- Matthew Soerens and Todun Afolabi (World Relief)
