Love the stranger
Heirs of God’s promise: God’s heart for refugees
A prophetic message of hope by Ukrainian church planter and leader, Andrey Bondarenko, specifically for those who have been forcibly displaced, taken from Welcome Churches’ 2024 Welcome Conference: The Road to Restoration, where he was keynote speaker.
Andrey encourages sanctuary-seekers to see their circumstances from the perspective of the Author of Salvation, and reveals their role blessing the nations, echoing Abraham, through whom all nations are blessed.
He encourages us to cooperate in our communities; to see the opportunity as God turns evil into good; and to be open to receive the special comfort that our Heavenly Father has for the widows, orphans, aliens, and the poor amongst us.
