Serving Immigrants and Refugees in the Name of Jesus

How does Christian Friends of New Americans help immigrants and refugees settle into their new country? The Rev. Dr. Stanish Stanley, Executive Director of Christian Friends of New Americans (CFNA), and Amy Ziegler, Community Engagement Associate with CFNA, join Andy and Sarah to talk about the refugees and immigrants who have found a new home in St. Louis and find support with CFNA, how they find their way to the United States, challenges these new neighbors face while building a new life, what day to day life looks like for immigrant and refugee families, how CFNA supports and cares for these families in the St. Louis area, the volunteers and supporters who contribute to these acts of mercy, and the current needs of refugee families in St. Louis. Learn more about CFNA and how you can support their work through time, talent, or treasure at cfna-stl.org.

As you grab your morning coffee (and pastry, let’s be honest), join hosts Andy Bates and Sarah Gulseth as they bring you stories of the intersection of Lutheran life and a secular world. Catch real-life stories of mercy work of the LCMS and partners, updates from missionaries across the ocean, and practical talk about how to live boldly Lutheran.
