I Was A Stranger

While immigration is certainly a political, social and economic issue, it’s also a biblical issue. For Christians whose highest authority is God’s word, our views should be formed by what the Bible says. But research suggests that many Christians have never thought about immigration issues from the perspective of the Scriptures.

The “I Was a Stranger” Challenge is a 40-day Scripture-reading guide composed of short Bible passages that relate in one way or another to the theme of immigration. The challenge is simple: would you commit to reading one verse each day over the next forty days and to prayerfully asking God to give you His heart?
