What would it take for your church to welcome immigrants as Jesus welcomes us?

The Hospitality Guide is an 10-lesson video course that helps churches become more hospitable to immigrants in their community by helping them:

• Understand the biblical basis and mandate for loving the sojourner in their midst;

• Recognize immigrants in their own community;

• Identify “bridge members” in their church that are key to befriending and welcoming immigrants; and

• Become familiar with some simple yet effective ways for engaging immigrants in their community.
