About the Learning Experience

This is an introductory course for those new to diaspora and refugee ministry. We will survey the basics of how and why peoples move, especially refugees. We will touch on various contemporary refugee crises as well as some prominent historical and biblical movements, and types of refugee movements, such as internally displaced populations, forcibly displaced persons, immigration patterns and statuses, refugee protection, national security issues and integration into receiving cultures. Particular attention will be given to creating contextually-appropriate missional responses for various refugee and voluntary migration scenarios.
