The 2,000 miles of border between the United States and Mexico is an area of heightened social, political, and spiritual importance. Along that border, cultures, economies, and families are divided. The border offers the church a unique opportunity for ministry. Faith groups along the border have each responded to this situation in different ways.
The 2nd Annual Border Ministries Summit provides an opportunity to share information, build partnerships and increase awareness of the important ministries taking place on both sides of the border.
Keynote Speaker: Dr. Miguel A. De La Torre, Professor of Social Ethics and Latinx Studies at the Iliff School of Theology in Denver, CO.
