Immigrant Ministries

From the beginning of time, the movement of people from one place to another has been a major factor in the development of cultures, promulgation of ideas, and search for freedom. Abraham’s journey from Chaldea to a “promised land,” the Israelite journey through Sinai back to Canaan, the movement of groups searching for religious freedom in Europe and the New World after the Protestant Reformation, the Cambodian Boat People, the desperate attempt of refugees to escape war-torn countries and subsidence living in poverty-stricken areas of oppression, drought, or disaster—these are only a few examples of the worldwide movement of people that has formed our present nations and continues to impact our global society.
