Women of Welcome: What Does the Bible Say About Immigration?Намуна

Dr. Timothy Tennent, a missiologist and the president of Asbury Theological Seminary, studies migration and the missional movement of the global church.
Dr. Tennent noted throughout his work that “86% of the immigrant population in North America are likely to either be Christians or become Christians. That’s far above the national average … The immigrant population presents the greatest hope for Christian renewal in North America … We shouldn’t see this as something threatening us. We should see this as a wonderful opportunity.”
Thoughtful Questions
- What does being “missionally minded” mean to you? Do you think it’s something most Christians think about here in North America? If not, where does our focus seem to be in the American church?
- It can be easy to forget that the church is indeed global. What do the verses in Revelation remind us to recognize about the world?
- With every tribe and nation to be gathered in heaven, God is calling us to see people (who aren’t like us, who live in different cultures and speak different languages) in a new way. Beyond skin color, beyond status and citizenship, beyond language and culture. Considering the passages you read today, who do you think God might be asking you to see differently?
About this Plan

When we read from Genesis to Revelation, we see consistent themes of migration and how God uses migration for his missional purposes. Knowing what God thinks about immigrants and refugees should shape how we look at people, inform how we read headlines, and help us respond. By the end of this study, you’ll be able to attach confidence to your compassion for a Biblical framework of immigration.
