PC(USA) charter congregation ministers to children of deported parents

Posted February 9th, 2018

The children coming to “Camp in a Van” were one of Misión Presbiteriana Hispana’s greatest success stories of 2017. Forty children showed up when the new worshiping community in Fayetteville, North Carolina, took its Vacation Bible School to a nearby park. Eighty percent of the children were not members of Misión Presbiteriana. Some of the children told leaders they had not seen their parents, who had been deported to their home countries, “for a long time.” Then they asked for hugs.
