                In this episode, Phil and his guests talk about how their involvement in the Syrian Refugee Crisis taught them more about refugee ministry.

                                                    In this season of Crossing Cultures, we tell our story of how God taught a Local Church what it means to have a Global Heart. This is not the story of good guys versus bad guys or people helping those in need- it’s the story of ALL people needing Jesus in different seasons of their lives. Our Ukrainian friends needed help getting into America and on to the next phase of their lives- we needed them to remind us of the global heart of God. 

                                                    More episodes in the season are coming soon. Make sure to subscribe to our channel to be updated whenever new episodes are posted!
