VanSkiver letter: Refugees

Dear followers of Jesus Christ, be not conformed to the voices of fear that are calling for the closing of our borders to the desolate and persecuted. Instead, reflect the fruit of God’s love where fear is conquered. We must welcome the stranger. May our voices dispel fear and give way to compassion.

Mark VanSkiver, Boise
