Summary: Hometown is a podcast from Episcopal Migration Ministries and is part of the Good Book Club. This Holy Week we are bringing you this special bonus episode to share a new song from Abraham Mwinda Ikando and a poignant interview with Emily Jones, the immigration attorney at Kentucky Refugee Ministries in Lexington.

For those around the world who live in fear, who suffer, whose homes have been stripped from them - our hearts cry out. We see you, we remember you, we pray and lift our voices for you. May we all move forward in faith that an Easter moment will dawn. “Hold On” by Abraham Mwinda Ikando He’s heard of a place better than this Free from hate and poverty Children play and live in peace No gunshots flying in the streets She wakes up every morning, falls to her knees Prays to God, “Please make the pain freeze,” Save her from the misery Change her reality So, hold on, and be strong, and never give up hope Someday you’ll get to go home, You’ll get to go home So, hold on, and be strong, and never give up hope Someday you’ll get to go home, You’ll get to go home Support EMM This Holy Week, we invite you to support refugees through a donation to EMM.
