Blessed Migrants by Samuel Lee Pdf

For the millions of people who reside outside their native countries, Blessed Migrants shares God's strategy in reaching the changing world through teaching Abraham's four everlasting promises. Dr. Samuel Lee, founder of Jesus Christ Foundation Churches and an international outreach ministry, answers a personal calling to help migrants understand the important role they play in the kingdom of God and to encourage revivals in their hosting nations. By discussing the history of migrants through Biblical stories, he illustrates how today migrants can becomes an instrument of love and a blessing to others-literally transforming themselves into modern-day Abrahams, Josephs, Jacobs and Ruths. Dr. Lee also focuses on the biblical conditions that must be realized in order for current migrants to be blessed and how a Christian migrant can successfully interact with other cultures and host nations. Several migrant-exporting nations are described including the Philippines, Africa, and Korea. Abraham was a migrant and pioneer of faith who dutifully followed the Lord's command. The blessings he received from God still to this day remain inspiration for migrants who want to make a global impact through the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Blessed Are the Refugees by Scott Rose Pdf

"Our role as people of faith is to put a face to the 'issue' of immigration, because if you 'see' that those who are the victims of an injustice are exactly like us, it is much more difficult to do inhuman things to them. Blessed are the Refugees does this in a very real way." --Cardinal Joseph W. Tobin, C.Ss.R., Archbishop of NewarkThis moving book highlights the stories of immigrant children who fled Central America, having taken the dangerous trip alone to escape violence and poverty. Eight story-reflections, each based on a different Beatitude and recounting the experience of one of these youths, are written by attorneys and volunteers of Catholic Charities' Esperanza Center of Baltimore. The story/reflections are accompanied by artwork created by an immigrant youth and her brother, along with prayers written by Jesuit Father Leo O'Donovan.

Migration Miracle by Jacqueline Maria Hagan Pdf

Since the arrival of the Puritans, various religious groups, including Quakers, Jews, Catholics, and Protestant sects, have migrated to the United States. The role of religion in motivating their migration and shaping their settlement experiences has been well documented. What has not been recorded is the contemporary story of how migrants from Mexico and Central America rely on religionÑtheir clergy, faith, cultural expressions, and everyday religious practicesÑto endure the undocumented journey. At a time when anti-immigrant feeling is rising among the American public and when immigration is often cast in economic or deviant terms, Migration Miracle humanizes the controversy by exploring the harsh realities of the migrantsÕ desperate journeys. Drawing on over 300 interviews with men, women, and children, Jacqueline Hagan focuses on an unexplored dimension of the migration undertakingÑthe role of religion and faith in surviving the journey. Each year hundreds of thousands of migrants risk their lives to cross the border into the United States, yet until now, few scholars have sought migrantsÕ own accounts of their experiences.

That They Might Seek Him by Steven B. Kern Pdf

While state governments determine the "Who?" "How many?" and "Under what conditions?" of immigration, God has determined the "Why?" He orchestrates the times and locations of the nations "that they might seek Him" (Acts 17:24-27). The sovereign God of the universe has redemptive purpose in the movements of the people. In many instances, the formerly "unreached" are moving "within reach." In God's plan, Christ-followers are instruments of compassion and ambassadors of hope. They are invited to respond. That They Might Seek Him: Introduction to Migration Ministry is written with this responsibility in mind. Targeting both students and practitioners, it informs, inspires, and equips. -Learn what the Bible says about migration . . . then and now. -Respond to factors at play in immigration policy development. -Embrace the challenges of message contextualization and migrant integration. -Identify tools for fruitful engagement. -Develop a strategy for fruitful ministry.

Migrants and Religion: Paths, Issues, and Lenses by Anonim Pdf

Despite the worldwide dramatic spread of religious-based discriminations, persecutions, and conflicts, both official data and academic literature have underestimated their role as a root cause of contemporary migrations. This multidisciplinary study aims to overcome this gap. Through an unprecedented collection of theoretical analysis and original empirical evidence, the book provides unique data and insights on the role of religion in the trajectories of asylum seekers and migrants – from the analysis of the religious geography of sending countries to the role of spirituality as a factor of resilience and adaptation. By enhancing both academic and political debate on these issues, the book offers the possibility of regaining awareness of the close link between religious freedom and the quality of democracy.

Global Migration and Christian Faith by M. Daniel Carroll R.,Vincent E. Bacote Pdf

Human history is the history of migration. Never before, however, have the numbers of people on the move been so large nor the movement as global as it is today. How should Christians respond biblically, theologically, and missiologically to the myriad of daunting challenges triggered by this new worldwide reality? This volume brings together significant scholars from a variety of fields to offer fresh insights into how to engage migration. What makes this book especially unique is that the authors come from across Christian traditions, and from different backgrounds and experiences--each of whom makes an important contribution to current debates. How has the Christian church responded to migration in the past? How might the Bible orient our thinking? What new insights about God and faith surface with migration, and what new demands are placed now upon God's people in a world in so much need? Global Migration and Christian Faith points in the right direction to grapple with those questions and move forward in constructive ways.

The Palgrave Handbook of South–South Migration and Inequality by Heaven Crawley,Joseph Kofi Teye Pdf

This open access handbook examines the phenomenon of South-South migration and its relationship to inequality in the Global South, where at least a third of all international migration takes place. Drawing on contributions from nearly 70 leading migration scholars, mainly from the Global South, the handbook challenges dominant conceptualisations of migration, offering new perspectives and insights that can inform theoretical and policy understandings and unlock migration’s development potential. The handbook is divided into four parts, each highlighting often overlooked mobility patterns within and between regions of the Global South, as well as the inequalities faced by those who move. Key cross-cutting themes include gender, race, poverty and income inequality, migration decision making, intermediaries, remittances, technology, climate change, food security and migration governance. The handbook is an indispensable resource on South-South migration and inequality for academics, researchers, postgraduates and development practitioners.

Les Mbengis - Migration, Gender, and Family by Christina Atekmangoh Pdf

This book is about transnational migration (familiarly called bushfalling) and remittance flows to Cameroon. With the current dire economic state, Cameroonians increasingly aspire to go abroad to make a living. Migrants achieve this through a collective (family) strategy and with the help of migration brokers. Relations between migrants and the family that stays in Cameroon can be characterized as follows: Families raise and educate their children to become adults. In return to giving their children the gift of life, families expect reciprocity, best secured through economic success abroad and the sending of remittances by migrants. As families in Cameroon heavily contribute to the funding of migration trajectories, often by selling properties such as land or houses or borrowing money, they also expect a return on their investments. All that constitutes this study explores under the notion of the moral economy of transnational remittances. In this study, remittances are understood to be a composite of financial, material, and cultural flowsmaintaining and transforming social and kinship ties. The book proposes also a large exploration of themes in relation to transnational migration: why and how Cameroonians migrate (the role of the operational family in terms of decision and funding; the role of migration brokers through the identification of lines and the provision of the necessary papers); the moral justification for migration; the ways social relations and customs are changed by status gained through migration; the ways people explain the failure of migration projects, the difficulties to stay abroad; the matrimonial strategies to go and stay abroad. This is an empirically rich and theoretically sophisticated study that takes thinking on transnational migration informed by African strategies and experiences a step further.

Asianization of Migrant Workers in the Gulf Countries by S. Irudaya Rajan,Ginu Zacharia Oommen Pdf

This edited volume contains sixteen chapters by eminent scholars on one of the largest migration corridors in the world i.e., between South and South-East Asia and the Gulf region. Asia’s trade and cultural contact with the Gulf date back to ancient historical times. Since the 1970s, the economic rise of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries owing to the discovery of oil has inspired a huge influx of migrant workers from Asia. At present, out of roughly 15 million expatriates in the Gulf region, Asians constitute around 12 million (80 percent). The chapters in this book look at migration from countries like India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Indonesia and Philippines to the different GCC countries. A few chapters also focus on migration from the India state of Kerala- a state where migration to the Gulf is prominent and where remittances make up over 36 percent of the state GDP. Furthermore, the issues covered range from labour practices and policies, citizenship and state protection, human rights, gender and caste as well as diaspora. This book explores the multifaceted nuances of the ‘Asia-Gulf migratory corridor’ and unearths future prospects and strategic implications. The book examines remittance behaviour, changing gender roles of immigrants, social-spatial mobility, migrant policies, human rights, sense of belonging and identity and perception, and the interaction between nationals and non-nationals. The book will be of interest to researchers in the areas of demography, migration and gender studies as well as social science researchers, policy makers, human rights lawyers, civil society institutions working on migration, Gulf studies programmes and centres on South-Asian and Middle-Eastern studies.
