With experience fostering a migrant child, living in Mexico and Honduras, fluent Spanish, and a masters in International Development, Gena Thomas could have a lot to say about immigration.

Bigger themes include God at work in hard places, growing through suffering, and finding faith in the mother heart of God.

Sonia Nazario, Enrique's Journey

*While Gena talks about her work at The Chalmers Center, she does not speak on behalf of the organization.

  2. What do you think about the statement, "God has always been at work here?"
  3. When you are discouraged, what do you do to keep going?

  5. Do you resonate with the mother heart of God?
