The 2000 miles of border between the United States and Mexico is an area of heightened social, political, and spiritual importance.
Along that border, cultures, economies, and families are divided. The border offers the church a unique opportunity for ministry. Faith groups along the border have each responded to this situation in different ways.
The 2nd Annual Border Ministries Summit provides an opportunity to share information, build partnerships and increase awareness of the important ministries taking place on both sides of the border.
Keynote Speaker:
Dr. Miguel A. De La Torre
Professor of Social Ethics and Latinx Studies at the Iliff School of Theology in Denver, CO.
A scholar-activist, Dr. De La Torre has written numerous articles in popular media. Within his guild, he served as the 2012 President of the Society of Christian Ethics. Recently, he wrote the screenplay to a documentary on immigration, Trails of Hope and Terror the Movie, which has screened in over eighteen film festivals, winning over seven film awards.
