Salvation, forgiveness, unconditional love of God, are just some of the many themes found in the Bible. One theme stands out as a central since it has been with us since the beginning of time – MIGRATION. Migration is the term for the movement of people between different countries. One of today’s issues is that of immigration, which is not a new issue, and certainly not an issue only in the United States. Come and welcome Kat Doyle as she takes us on a migration journey starting at the beginning of the Bible and bringing us to where we are today. Learn more about the biblical history of migration and how we are called as Christians to respond.
