The Hands That Welcome

The Hands That Welcome

This artwork aims to express the need for welcoming refugee groups. This is one of the responsibilities of faith communities. Support, care, and expressions of love must be extended to all peoples; in this way, we will be good witnesses of Christ’s love.

“You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals, because you were slain, and with your blood you purchased for God persons from every tribe and language and people and nation.”
(Revelation 5:9)

May each of us seek the transformation of our character toward generosity, love, and care for our brothers and sisters from distant lands.
