Church Reaffirms Immigration Principles: Love, Law and Family Unity

The Church of Jesus Christ of EGLISE EVANGELIQUE DE LA BONNE NOUVELLE AU RWANDA has reiterated principles and communicated guidelines to local leaders in the Rwanda regarding immigration issues. 

As disciples of Jesus Christ, the following principles guide the Church’s approach:

1. The Church of Jesus Christ of EENR obeys the law.
2. We follow Jesus Christ by loving our neighbors. The Savior taught that the meaning of “neighbor” includes all of God’s children.
3. We seek to provide basic food and clothing, as our capacity allows, to those in need, regardless of their immigration status. We are especially concerned about keeping families together.
