I am a foreigner. #ATCK

Updated: Mar 18, 2019


This is my Facebook post for today.


What broke me in 2015 was seeing American hatred for foreigners, particularly the most vulnerable people: refugees. What put me in grief counseling and made me feel hopeless, even to the point of faith crisis, was watching so-called Christians hate on Muslim immigrants and enable brazen abuse, possibly even contributing to deaths.


Instead of being godly in the midst of callous manipulation, the evangelical church was complicit in blatant evil. Churches still enable Trump supporters to think all this abuse is just a political difference and we should unite together with abuse apologists instead of putting them out of fellowship. Guess who gets pushed out instead?


I am glad I left evangelicalism in 2016, and I won't ever be back.


The evangelicals must change, and I am proud to say I am not and, as a missionary kid, really have never been welcome among them.

I owe them nothing; they owe foreigners, liberals, and all those they've mocked, taunted, abused and harmed, repentance.


But they are so sick they will call me bitter and blame the victims. So may the Lord rebuke them; I am done. #ATCK #LoveYourNeighbor
