Refugee: A person who has been forced to leave their country in order to escape war, persecution, or natural disaster.

The Syrian refugee crisis has long since faded from the incessant 24/7 news cycle, but that doesn’t mean the crisis is over.  Whenever I read the news, I try to interact with it not as a Republican or Democrat, but as a Christian (yes, you can be a Christian and be either one).

So what does the Bible say about refugees?  how should that impact our national policy?  Thankfully, you’ve got 38 news channels that can cover both of those questions.  Instead, for us, I wanted to share a little bit about someone who we don’t traditionally think of as a refugee.
