Guest Blog by: Jenny Yang This blog was first posted on the World Relief Responds website. The original post can be found here. For years, I heard that thousands of refugees from Chin State in Burma were fleeing into Mizoram State, India to escape persecution at the hands of the Burmese military regime. […]Continue Reading →
A couple of weeks ago, I visited Birmingham, Alabama for the first time. I was there to speak at Samford University (a Baptist university), at the G92 South conference. This conference takes its name from the 92 references to the Hebrew word ger, or the immigrant, in the Old Testament. The goal […]Continue Reading →
