Day 6 Gift Idea: Advocacy for Immigrants


CHICAGO, IL (December 6, 2018) – Throughout the Advent season, Covenant Newswire is highlighting daily gift selections from the CovenantCares giving guide. Through the free annual catalog, Covenanters can partner with brothers and sisters around the globe to give gift donations that will help serve communities and advance God’s work in many areas.

Today we highlight our ministry with immigrants. As a historically immigrant church, we can continue to learn about and respond to the current immigration issues with compassion and justice.

Our response includes offering legal assistance because immigrants often are vulnerable to fraud perpetrated by people who have promised to help them pursue legal pathways to citizenship.

Help Covenant churches establish legal services and provide comprehensive immigrant outreach in support of our neighbors.
