A Gospel-Centered Response for a Divided Time
The Faithful Witness Campaign is a shared evangelical initiative committed to forming the Church for courageous, nonviolent, Gospel-rooted engagement around immigration at this moment. Inspired by the witness of the early church, we seek to discern and move together to be faithful witnesses to what we have seen and heard.
“As for us, we cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard.” Acts 4:20
In Acts 4, Peter and John were detained. When interrogated by how they had healed a lame beggar who sat daily at the temple gates, they proclaimed Jesus’s authority, power, and salvation. The religious authorities tried to prohibit them from speaking and teaching in the name of Jesus, and their response was simple:
“As for us, we cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard.”
(Acts 4:20 NIV).
In a season marked by fear, polarization, and deep uncertainty around immigration many Christians are asking:
- How do we follow Jesus faithfully when fear touches our own churches and families?
- How do we love our neighbors when the stakes feel personal and complex?
- How do we seek justice without becoming captive to partisanship?
- How do we listen well to those navigating immigration realities every day and allow their lived experience to shape a more faithful response?
