Migration Support Network
The Migration Support Network has been a steady place of intention for compassion and love to be shared across the so-called border. GoCompassion delivers monthly, support in the form of cash for food and medicine. In addition, special projects (like the building of a school for the 400 to 600 children at the sanctuary at Cañon de Alacrán in 2022-2023) are added to the menu of options for how to help. In 2023, a generous donation of $32K allowed the pastor and refugees at the sanctuary to complete the building of the school and the local government is sent teachers! In 2025, things changed dramatically. Today, the sanctuary hosts 600-700 people, with most being families with children who have either left the U.S. due to deportation or voluntary departure. Many were awaiting the chance to process their lawful permanent residency or were seeking asylum. We stay connected with Pastor Banda and continue as we can to support his living prayer for humanity.
