What does the Bible say about immigrants & refugees?
Here’s a few amazing women to tell you.

God have mercy. Disgraceful.
The Trump administration is preparing to deport at least 150 Afghans over the next 48 hours, first to Pakistan and then to Taliban-controlled Afghanistan.
Many of those facing deportation are relatives of those who worked alongside the United States. They could face severe retaliation from the Taliban upon their return.
@nickschifrin speaks to @shawnjvandiver for more.

Mass deportation isn't just. It isn’t a triumph of the rule of law. It’s a product of Trump’s own hatreds and bigotries.
After pledging to deport the “worst of the worst,” he has decided to pursue otherwise law-abiding residents for deportation, even residents with American families. He has decided to detain people who are eligible for bonds. Again, that is not what the law requires. It is what Trump demands. nytimes.com/2026/10/29/opini…

🚨 Evangelical and Catholic Christians: this immigration crisis has already reached our churches.🚨
Did you know 1 in 12 Christians in America is either undocumented or has a family member who is?
That is millions of Christians potentially at risk of deportation.
Many have been part of our congregations for decades.
Don’t take my word for it…
See the “One Part of the Body” report from the National Association of Evangelicals and the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.
Immigration is also a matter of conscience.
While some churches are more affected than others, the Apostle Paul reminds us that the Church is one body:
“If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.”
(1 Corinthians 12:26)

"A new report from @WorldRelief & @NAEvangelicals projects that 1.3 million U.S. citizen minor children & spouses will face separation from family if the administration continues its mass deportation and visa ban policies. For Christians focused on the family, that’s concerning"

Many Christians still support the current administration because it has claimed to be “pro-life.”
But the truth is, it's not. Abortion rates are rising, and a truly pro-life vision requires us to care about what families actually need to flourish: access to healthcare, affordable housing, economic stability, and basic human dignity.
On all of these fronts, the current administration continues to fail - and Christians who care about life should be willing to say so.

“Toxic empathy” rhetoric has filtered into much of the American evangelical church over the past few years.
As a result, many Christians now feel permitted - even encouraged - to look the other way as our government enacts human rights abuses against our neighbors.
If the only people who deserve empathy are those who match our political priorities, it’s time to ask whether we may be more loyal to a party than to Christ.

If these are the stories we're getting now, just wait until after this miserable administration ends, and we start to get the full picture. We should be ashamed now. Our shame will only grow. Future generations will ask how we let this happen.

Watching American Christians claim they care about the persecuted Church while hearing them vehemently refute and outright dismiss the painful stories of Christians (and their young children) being unjustly detained and oppressed here in the U.S. is absolutely wiiiiiild.

All of the articles of Evangelicals magazine are available on our website where you can also download a free PDF of the issue!
Immigration is one of today’s most polarizing issues. But beneath the headlines, much of the public discourse is shaped less by facts and principles and more by fear, misinformation and emotional manipulation. So how should Christians — whether natives or newcomers — engage with our immigrant neighbors?

I do not believe Jesus died for us
so that we could live comfortable lives behind walls,
indifferent to the suffering of others.

Refugee resettlement has been in the news this week, and I want to re-up this important op-ed from @bryantwright in @FoxNews, urging @realDonaldTrump to protect the Christian Afghan refugees who fled to the U.S.

The election is over. Now, our job is to hold the elected administration accountable and make it clear what we will tolerate & what we won’t.

This whole conversation between my friends @BriStenz & @KaitlynSchiess is great
But this point—that "open borders" is a strawman position no one serious is advocating—needs to be heard
Take some time to listen & check out Bri's book, Start with Welcome a.co/d/35lxdMZ
No one is proposing that we should open up the borders. "We are proposing safe and secure borders, thorough vetting, and humane treatment of people who we know, as Christians, are made in the image of God."
This week on 🎙️Holy Post 663, @BriStenz of Women of Welcome shares the false narratives too many Christians believe about immigration in America, why it's a pro-life issue, & how to engage it with compassion and truth. Tune in wherever you get your podcasts and share with your community!
