Are you curious about the connection between (im)migration and Biblical stories? Are you a pastor or leader who wants to find ways to address this issue within your congregation? Would you like to learn more about (im)migration from the firsthand experiences of a Guatemalan immigrant who has worked closely with immigrants?
We will meet every other week for a total of 6 weeks to discuss the book The God Who Sees by Karen Gonzalez. This is a moving book written by a Guatemalan immigrant who weaves together her and her family's stories, Biblical stories of migration, and experiences and information on immigration issues based on her work with World Relief. This is an excellent book for those who want to gain a better understanding of (im)migration in connection to Scripture, and who want to find ways to address this issue within their congregations. Here is a link to learn more about the book: The God Who Sees - 2019 — Karen Gonzalez
Please join us for discussion every other Tuesday at 12 pm ET / 11 am CT / 10 am MT / 9 am PT on the following dates:
Tuesday, September 23rd: Foreword & Preface
Tuesday, October 7th: Chapters 1 & 2

Tuesday, November 4th: Chapters 5 & 6
