What do you think of when you hear the word immigrant or refugee? More importantly what does God think, and does Scripture have anything to say about this contentious issue? We’ll also examine the history of how the U.S. laws have benefited some and restricted others. We will dismantle myths about immigrants and refugees and discuss ways we can learn and benefit from them as we find ways to minister to their needs as well.
Khanh Nguyễn’s family came as refugees from Vietnam in the 70’s. A Lutheran church sponsored them and helped them settle in MN. She has been married to David for 14 years. They have two delightful children who attend a Chinese immersion school. Khanh’s journey includes being a missionary in Hawaii and Asia. She worked at University of Northwestern St. Paul for 17 years where she directed the short-term missions and outreach program. She also taught courses in exegesis, race, culture, and ministry there. She’s been a leader in several multi-ethnic churches and works with Africans settling African refugees in St. Paul. These experiences led her to form C3: Cultural Competency Consulting. She speaks & trains in areas of culture, race, multi-ethnic ministry, immigration & refugee advocacy, and Asian American issues.
