What is it about?
This article examines what is needed for a Pentecostal Response to the refugee crisis—to understand one's identity and calling; to truly see what is in front of us (the people, the earth, the nations, and the Kingdom); and to engage as Pentecostals with cultural humility, a Pentecostal public theology on immigration, strategic and sustaining partnerships, and Pentecostal power.

Why is it important?
The refugee crisis is only increasing around the world and in our own hometowns. It is incumbent upon Pentecostals globally to continue to consider how they can best respond to the biblical mandate to care for the the most vulnerable around us.
Perspectives
As I continue to welcome and encourage refugees in my hometown, God provides strength, grace, love, and wisdom to learn together with them how to thrive in this difficult time. We are learning from one another and growing together in many ways. My life has been enriched by their perseverance, creativity, and faith.
