Welcoming the Stranger - World Relief
Manage episode 380086268 series 2797972
On the next episode of Humanity Chats, we are thrilled to welcome Brandon Baughn, Office Director of World Relief Upstate South Carolina, and Matthew Soerens, Vice President of Advocacy and Policy for World Relief. They join Marjy Marj to shed light on the vital work of World Relief and the upcoming "Welcoming the Stranger" event.
World Relief Upstate SC's mission and privilege is to empower local churches to embrace our refugee and immigrant neighbors with the love of Jesus. However, integration challenges often hinder our new neighbors from fully flourishing in our communities. The upcoming event aims to explore how the church and the community can collaboratively support their holistic well-being and overcome these challenges.
Having returned from nearly 15 years in Pakistan and Indonesia working on community and educational development, Brandon Baughn brings his experience and knowledge to the discussion. His time overseas, from managing a mobile literacy school program for nomadic groups in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan, to serving as the Program Director for YICF’s refugee education program in Jakarta, Indonesia, has prepared him for his current role in South Carolina.
Matthew Soerens, with his experience as the Vice President of Advocacy and Policy for World Relief and as the National Coordinator for the Evangelical Immigration Table, is an advocate for immigration reforms rooted in biblical principles. He is also the co-author of the books "Welcoming the Stranger" and "Inalienable," which align with the theme of the event.
Join us for this enlightening episode of Humanity Chats discussing the "Welcoming the Stranger" event.
The event will feature insightful conversations led by Bri Stensrud (Women of Welcome), Pastor Charles Kenya (Neema Church), Kristel Acevedo (Transformation Church), Dr. Tony Beam (North Greenville University), and Matthew Soerens and Todun Afolabi from World Relief. Together, they will delve into God's heart for the sojourner and how we can express Jesus's love through actions and words.
Join World Relief at North Hills Church at 4952 Edwards Road Taylors, SC 29687 on Saturday, October 21, 2023. Doors Open at 8:30 a.m. The event will be held from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m
