And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddling cloths and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn (Luke 2:7)

Ann, Paula, Age, Mariano, Alba, and many other families around the world currently experiencing internal displacement, are all looking for the same warmth and security that Mary and Joseph were seeking for their family. It is estimated that there are presently 150 million people who are homeless and 1.6 billion who lack adequate housing (YaleGlobal, 2017; Habitat, 2017).

Advent is a time for reflection. So, as we prepare to celebrate Jesus birth, let us take the time to consider the many families around the world who are, right now, experiencing homelessness, living in inadequate housing, and are exhausted by natural disaster and conflict.

Just as the innkeeper did for Mary and Joseph, this Christmas, can you help a destitute family have a home?
