Caminando Juntos
Walking Together, We Do Nothing Alone

Caminando Juntos responds to the Gospel mandate to “welcome the stranger.” Through this work for justice, our team walks together with newly arrived Latino immigrants as they seek to integrate into a new culture and make a home in area communities.

Of the various Latino migrants who come to Caminando Juntos for assistance, the women and children have some of the most difficult stories. We have found that listening is the simplest, yet most genuine, form of welcome.

A woman and her children will come in for one type of assistance and end up telling their whole migration story. Unfortunately, not all stories are happy; some stories include various kinds of abuse. At times, the abuse continues here in the US as well.

Listening is the simplest, yet most genuine, form of welcome.

Having someone listen to their story, in their own language, has potential to start the healing process. 1 Peter 4:10 says, “as each has received a gift, use it to serve one another…” Our gift of service starts with being present and listening.

Additional ways we serve our Latino sisters and brothers:
• We offer resources.
          With hospitality and understanding, we accompany our clients in finding community resources, filling out applications and translation.

• We offer educational opportunities to learn English.
          Both daytime and evening classes as well as 1-1 tutoring provide options for Spanish-speaking adults to learn a new language.

• We offer Immigration Legal Services.
          Each case is unique, yet we offer the same dignified hospitality, by listening to their situation and either assisting with their immigration
          case or referring them to a trusted legal partner.

We know we could not do this alone. It is with the love and support of our partners that we continue our humble, yet profound, ministry as we walk together. CLICK HERE TO LEARN MORE ABOUT CAMINANDO JUNTOS.
