How the Church Must Embrace Refugees and Immigrants
About
M. Jeanette Iman’ishimwe, a native of Rwanda, is an interpreter for the United Nations Refugees Agency in Zimbabwe. A former refugee, she describes the rejection her family experienced by family and church because they were an inter-tribal family. The family found a church home in a Congolese church in the refugee camp, learning a new language in order to worship. She is pursuing her master’s degree in public policy and governance at Africa University, focusing on how the church must embrace refugees and immigrants.
