Rather than re-inventing the wheel, PC(USA) approached Abara to form a partnership as Abara partners across many divides in faith and non-faith circles. In partnership, Abara is the primary connection and training arm for Border Encounters and Border Response (shelter support). Tres Rios Border Foundation is focused on inspiring, equipping, and connecting PC(USA) congregations to engage in meaningful ways with Abara, NGOs, Pastors, and various ministries. It’s an honor to imagine and work together for the common good.

We envision communities working for narrative, systems, and personal change – upstream (root causes of global migration) and downstream (relief and development).
