Together, not Torn
It’s happenings like this that restore my faith that there are still people calling themselves Christians who have not forgotten the command in Leviticus 25 to:
If one of your countrymen becomes poor and is unable to support himself among you, help him as you would an alien or a temporary resident, so he can continue to live among you. [emphasis added]
Check out Together, no Torn: Families Can’t Wait for Immigration Reform. There are several ways to get involved.
