On the Border

Rev. Jacqui Lewis, Rev. John Janka, board members Edna Benitez and Darren Johnson and our director of communications, Christina Fleming, traveled to the Mexican/United States border wall near El Paso, Texas. They joined faith leaders and activists from around the country to hear stories from immigrants and scholars near the border. Faith leaders spoke against the immoral and unjust policies that have separated families.

There once was a little boy named Yeshua. He was born to a woman named Miriam and a man named Yusef. When the child was young, the man who was king, Herod, decided he needed to kill all of the male children under the age of two. Miriam and Yusef took their child, and helped by strangers along the way, traveled from Judea to Egypt. When this refugee family arrived, they were welcomed. They found shelter and food; they were able to stay together.
