Facts, Fears, and Faith in a Migrant Crisis

Are These My Brothers and Sisters?
Right now we're living through an unprecedented moment. More people are on the move today than ever before.
Welcome to the so-called "global refugee crisis," which will be relocating even more people in the next few decades.
And welcome to your opportunity to show the love of God to men, women and children whose lives have been turned upside down.

The Migrant in the Mirror
Patrick Johnstone is British, but his ancestors came from other lands.
How many of your relatives or ancestors moved from one country to another?
When we look in the mirror, do we see the ways migration has shaped our lives and our families? Do we see the stranger, the outcast, the widow, the orphan?

Feelings Matter
How you feel about refugees impacts how you respond.
Let Patrick Johnstone take you on a journey of personal reflection and compassion.

Jesus Was a Refugee

"Historic!"
"Unprecedented!"

That's how people describe today's bigger-than-ever flood of global refugees and migrants. But people have been on the move since the very beginning of human history.
    How do we know? The Bible tells us so. As Patrick Johnstone and Dean Merrill show us, Jesus was a refugee.
    So was Abraham.
    So was Joseph.
    So was Moses.

From "Them" to "Us"
Today when people talk about "the immigrant crisis," one word is repeated over and over.
    "Them."
    We think of migrants are those people. They're the "other."
    But the Bible shows that the immigrants and refugees are us.
    God's first people moved from place to place.
    Later on, Jesus had nowhere to lay His head.

Counsel Amid Chaos
Today, many people are scared to death of the immigrant crisis.
But Patrick Johnstone and Dean Merrill want us to remember something as we address the tragedy of millions on the move: God has used migration for millennia to achieve His purposes for His people. He is doing so again in our time.
    Do you want to play your part in this unfolding drama? Then Jesus Was a Refugee can help.
