Our Home:
Reflections and Stories on God, Welcome and Belonging
In March, we interviewed many Christians from refugee backgrounds and those who welcomed them to explore the significance of "home," "welcoming," and the hope of finding an eternal home with Jesus. This collection of stories will be released as a short video in early June. Sign up today for our Refugee Sunday updates and be among the first to join this powerful exploration!
