God’s heart for the foreigner is stated clearly throughout Scripture. Often, we allow politics or public opinion to form our convictions about immigrants, refugees, international students, and other foreigners living among us. We must let the Word of God, rather than society or personal prejudices, determine our attitudes and actions towards outsiders. Depending on your Bible translation, we read that God repeatedly commanded His people to love, serve, provide for, and share His Word with the “aliens,” “sojourners,” “foreigners,” or “strangers” living among them.
Global Frontier Missions intentionally lives out these Scriptures, and we challenge others in the body of Christ to practice them. We believe that welcoming the nations plays an increasingly effective role in fulfilling the Great Commission, to see every tribe, tongue, people, and nation delighting in and worshiping the Lord.
