Recent unrest, conflict, and war have caused an unprecedented refugee crisis. The plight of Syrian, Iraqi, and other Middle Eastern refugees has shocked the whole world. Also, many youth and children are trying to enter the United States from Central America to escape violence and poverty.

Carlos Colón shares some of his story as a refugee of the civil war in his native El Salvador. In this session, we strive for a Christocentric reading of the Psalms of Ascent, journeying with our eyes set on Jesus, and also keeping in sight our call to love, show compassion and hospitality to those different from us, and offer them good news, as we follow a Savior who is full of grace and truth.
