Matthew 25 Initiative
As Christians, we remember that we are a migrant people. We learn from those leaving their homes by force or choice that we have “another (heavenly) citizenship” (Daniel Carroll Rodas).
We must come near this “hearth” as the world witnesses those migrating in our times. We remember it’s been a steady human story as highlighted in Auden’s poem of Jewish refugees amidst WWII. As the church, we offer home to the stranger, because we know what it means to be away from home.
Read this poem, listen, and reflect. And pray alongside us today for the strangers seeking refuge and love among us.

🙏 Join us today in prayer for those struggling with poverty, without stable and safe homes, who have needed to leave their countries, who are imprisoned, and those suffering who we so often overlook because of not seeing and knowing better, because of neglect, or because we are distracted by seeking our own comfort without casting the net of care generously and sacrificially as Jesus invites.
🩵 How can we pray for you today? Let us know in the comments or message us.
