Description

As local churches seek to welcome, serve and learn from their new refugee and immigrant neighbors, they discover that many encounter systemic challenges that prevent our immigrant neighbors from fully integrating and flourishing in our communities. We invite you to join us for a conversation in exploring how the church can provide love, welcome, and support to our newest neighbors by advocating for their holistic well-being as they struggle with unique vulnerabilities due to their forced displacement. Guest Speakers: Matthew Soerens & Eric Costanzo Matthew Soerens is the US director of church mobilization and advocacy for World Relief and the national coordinator of the Evangelical Immigration Table. He is the co-author of Welcoming the Stranger, Seeking Refuge, and the new book Inalienable. Eric Costanzo (PhD) is a pastor and teacher from Tulsa, Oklahoma, who writes about biblical, cultural, and historical topics along with global issues affecting the church. Eric is the executive director for RisingVillage.org, an organization with initiatives to help marginalized people become full participants in their communities. He is also the author of Harbor for the Poor. Eric and his wife, Rebecca, have four children who have wonderfully compassionate hearts for others.
