We facilitate the crossing of physical, cultural, political, linguistic, and economic borders, through the interaction of people of diverse backgrounds, and through biblical reflection in the light of our realities. We do this through the hosting of over 40 mission delegations each year from churches, universities and organizations throughout the U.S. We seek to raise awareness that our struggle is not against individuals, in our faith tradition "flesh and blood," but rather against political, economic, and social systems, "powers and principalities," in our faith tradition.

It is our hope that in building relationships and understanding that those most affected by the current policies can unitie to struggle for change, that persons will be active in their communities and nations in the struggle for more just laws and economic relationships, and that they will be more welcoming of immigrants in their own communities, because in the biblical faith tradition we recognize that we are all to "welcome the resident alien, because we too once were aliens."
