Caring for Refugees

Every day, children and families cross our southern border and request asylum as they flee countries with violence, political instability and poverty. How do people of faith respond to this crisis along the border and in our local communities? In this program, we meet two individuals who live out their faith by showing care and concern for these refugees, both along the border and in our community.
