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.
