The only way we can know what someone has suffered is to walk to the edge of their suffering and join them in it. This is why Experiencing Refuge utilizes trips overseas to see, touch, hear and taste the experience of refugees around the world. Experiencing Refuge works to connect individuals and groups with established refugee ministries overseas for the opportunity to experience the refugee journey.

But a Samaritan, as he journeyed, came to where he was,

and when he saw him, he had compassion.

Luke 10:33

​

“We instinctively tend to limit for whom we exert ourselves. We do it for people like us, and for people whom we like. Jesus will have none of that. By depicting a Samaritan helping a Jew, Jesus could not have found a more forceful way to say that anyone at all in need – regardless of race, politics, class, and religion – is your neighbour. Not everyone is your brother or sister in faith, but everyone is your neighbour,

and you must love your neighbour.”

― Timothy J. Keller
