Start with Welcome
The Journey toward a Confident and Compassionate Immigration Conversation
By Bri Stensrud , Jamie Ivey | Publisher: Zondervan
About the book
Asking the hard questions about immigration in light of Jesus' call to love our neighbors as ourselves.
You've seen the headlines. You've watched the TV footage. People around the world are in dire situations and on the move. Current estimates suggest over 100 million people are forcibly displaced from their homes and seeking refuge in other countries. It seems as if everyone wants to come to the U.S., and if we're honest, that gives many of us pause.
We wonder how it would impact our culture and communities if we showed welcome to the world, and many of us wonder how to separate the political rhetoric and talking points on present day immigration from what the Bible really has to say about immigrants and strangers.
Start with Welcome dives into the whole narrative of Scripture to better understand what God calls us to do concerning immigrants and refugees. Bri Stensrud will guide you through pressing questions that will ignite your compassion and leave you curious about our calling as followers of Christ—questions like:
- Is Immigration a Pro-Life Issue?
- What does the Bible say about Immigrants?
- Who is Welcome here?
- What does Christlike Welcome look like?
You have questions. You have fears. But you also have compassion.
So, let's start there.
Bri Stensrud welcomes you into the conversation—a conversation that’s more urgent now than ever. It all starts with one word: Welcome.
