“Our love for the stranger…is on the same footing as our love for our neighbour…Christian university students…have a strategic role in influencing the rhetoric and debate, striving to prevent it descending to gutter racism and xenophobia.” – Revd Dr Chris Wright.

As followers of Christ, how we respond to migrants and strangers reflects our love for God. Students on campus today can shape hearts, minds, and society tomorrow.

"But the opportunity for cross-cultural friendship, personal growth, and gospel ministry – both as students and later as graduates – is bigger than ever." 🌍✨

The landscape of campus ministry is shifting, but the potential has never been greater. Gen Z students arriving in the Global North from the Majority World aren't just here to adapt; they are leading, growing, and bringing a vibrant faith and curiosity with them.

How is your community forming these lifelong partnerships? 👇

"The power of God to overcome evil by his sovereign love and grace — and indeed to use evil to its own ultimate destruction, is supremely modelled at the cross..."

In a world fractured by displacement and crisis, how should the church respond? In his article for the Word & World journal, Revd Dr. Chris Wright reminds us that our framework must always be centered on the cross.

A truly missional perspective calls us to a threefold response:
1. Action on behalf of the victims.
2. Prayer for those working toward peace and justice.
3. Discernment to recognize the opportunities for gospel witness hidden within God's mysterious global governance.
