Resources

 

Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service wants you to have the tools you need to join us in welcoming migrants and refugees.

These resources will allow you to educate, inspire and engage your congregation or community regarding newcomers and the issues they face. We encourage you to deepen your understanding so your community can create its own culture of welcome.

 

Be Not Afraid
Immigration enforcement measures have brought fear to families and churches. Use our Be Not Afraid materials to help your congregation and community learn how to respond to immigration issues impacting their lives.

World Refugee Day
Take a moment. Take an hour. Take a day to learn more about refugees, honor their successes, pray for them. LIRS's materials will help you celebrate World Refugee Day on June 20.

No Temas
Las medidas tomadas para hacer cumplir las leyes inmigratorias han atemorizado a familias e iglesias. Use nuestros folletos No temas para que su congregación y comunidad aprendan como responder a estas situaciones de inmigración que afectan sus vidas.

Out of the Waters
Lead the way to deeper conversation about immigration with a six-session Bible Study based on the book of Exodus. Learn more about this resource by the Rev. David Vásquez.
