BMS World Mission

People movements (issue 3/07)

People move homes for a variety of reasons: conflict, natural disaster, work, education - or simply the desire for a better life.

 

This issue of Mission Catalyst takes a in-depth look at people on the move both worldwide and closer to home, and challenges us to what our reaction should be.

 

Articles include a focus on the way asylum seekers and refugees are publicly perceived, a look at urbanisation in one part of Latin America and an investigation into the impact migration has on society.

 

 

There are also a host of essentials quotes, facts and statistics and a thought-provoking Bible reflection on the theme.
