Love the stranger
The blessing of refugee ministry with Samuel Luak
In this episode, Emily is speaking with Samuel Luak, one of the staff team at Welcome Churches. Born and raised in Sudan, Samuel has lived in seven different countries over the past 30 years.
Refugee ministry connects God’s church across the world, and he relates some of his lived experience, when it comes to the witness that local church congregations can be to people from a refugee background.
Samuel and Emily explore the resource that Welcome Churches is for local churches in their responses to new arrivals.
They also discuss the unique contributions which refugees and people seeking asylum can - and should - bring to the UK Church.
