Week 9 – Exodus-Toward-Egypt – Fernandez (Sugirtharajah)

Filipino-Americans immigrants who are dealing with binaries such as captivity/liberation, closure/promise, blessing/alienation, and outsiders/insiders have genuine needs that need to be addressed.  It is sad but helpful to learn that they feel like second-class citizens in America and are still colonized. Here is a wonderful opportunity for us to minister to an ethnic group on our doorstep, waiting to be accepted, loved, and incorporated into the greater community.
