PW launches U.S.A. Mission Experience

2008 U.S.A. Mission Experience to the United States-Mexico Border

Beyond Borders: PW Focus on Immigration

For the Lord your God is God of gods, and Lord of lords, the great God, mighty and awesome, who is not partial and takes no bribe, who executes justice for the orphan and the widow, and who loves the strangers, providing them food and clothing. You shall also love the stranger, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt. (Deut. 10:17–19)

Presbyterian Women will focus on immigration and its relationship to violence, poverty, racism, exploitation of women and children, and global economic policies by

• hearing the voices of our sisters and responding with compassion,
• working for the end of all forms of violence,
• advocating for the rights of women and children,
• supporting our domestic partners and
• allowing ourselves to be transformed by partnership experiences.

Presbyterian Women’s first U.S.A. Mission Experience took place April 12–19, 2008. Participants (at least one woman from each synod) on the trip will visit El Paso, Texas, to learn about immigration and related issues.
