Book Synopsis

Explore how the movement of people reflects God's love, purpose, and call in our lives

Discover the heart of God in one of the most profound human experiences--migration. Migration, a 6-week interactive Bible study by Alexis Busetti and Dorcas Cheng-Tozun, invites you to explore how the movement of people reflects God's love, purpose, and call in our lives.

This thought-provoking study is not just about understanding the migration narrative in Scripture but also about reshaping your perspective on migration today. Through a diverse mix of Scripture, essays, spoken word, visual art, and personal testimonies, Migration offers a spiritually rich experience designed to deepen your connection with God and foster compassion for others.

This study will inspire and challenge you to

• See migration as central to the human experience and honoring to God,
• Debunk harmful myths that frame migration as a societal threat, and
• Cultivate the heart of a migrant in your own faith and life, rooted in empathy and justice.

Whether you're someone seeking answers to complex questions like What is migration? Why is it important? What does the Bible have to say about migration and immigrants? or a Christian eager to align your posture with Biblical teachings, this study lays a foundation for meaningful reflection and action.

Migration features:

Review Quotes

"Migration touches all our lives, whether we realize it or not. Still, it's a topic too often informed by political pundits rather than Scripture. This study offers an invitation to listen, reflect, and grow with unique, artistic expressions that open fresh conversations."

--Sarah Quezada, author of Love Undocumented

"Resources made by and for people of color who are looking to grow in contemplative Christian practices are few and far between, but Made for PAX is an oasis in a spiritual desert. Their commitment to empowering and raising up voices as part of the global majority is a testament to their shalom-filled activism. The Made for PAX Bible Studies are thoughtful resources for folks who are passionate about fostering the flourishing of all."
