17th Mennonite Central Committee United Nations Office Student Seminar


17th Mennonite Central Committee United Nations Office Student Seminar
October 25-27

“Where do we go from here; Internally Displaced, Refugees, Migrants.”
The number of IDPs, refugees, and migrants continues to grow at an alarming rate, due to climate change, armed conflict, and economic hardship. Many nations find they are either becoming the receivers of refugees, experiencing decreased populations because of migration for economic reasons, or facing the challenges of IDPs because of climate change and/or armed conflict. Each country has its own story and Christ also has a unique plan of redemption for these stories. At the seminar we will explore the root causes and issues facing the worlds IDPs, Refugees, and Migrants. As well as seek out Christ’s vision for these beloved people.
