Through a range of devotional resources which includes prayers, videos, and reflections, theses devotionals inspire us to extend our faith and connection of the Pacific Basin.

Migration Throughout the Pacific Basin Region
Migration throughout the Pacific Basin Region, particularly in the context of climate migration, presents complex challenges and opportunities. As climate change accelerates environmental degradation, rising sea levels, and extreme weather events, communities across the region face displacement, compelling many to seek refuge elsewhere. Advocating for the rights of migrants and indigenous communities becomes crucial as they navigate the vulnerabilities associated with migration, including exploitation, discrimination, and loss of cultural identity. Addressing these issues requires collaborative efforts to ensure equitable access to resources, protection of human rights, and opportunities for sustainable livelihoods.

Advocating for the Rights of Minority and Indigenous Communities
In Hong Kong and Korea, host communities are partnering to advocate for migrant workers’ rights. Similarly, in the Philippines, partners are advocating for the rights of indigenous groups displaced from their lands by government actions and resource-extracting companies. Additionally, partners in the Pacific Islands are initiating discussions on preserving culture and traditions as they grapple with the prospect of their islands disappearing and relocating to new lands. A migrant worker is someone who moves to seek employment opportunities, often crossing borders but also moving within a country. These migrants, along with other minority communities like indigenous groups, face rights violations from governments and dominant groups in their places of residence. In Hong Kong, migrant workers, who are predominantly women, often experience significant income disparities compared to workers from other countries, highlighting systemic inequalities within the labor market. In January 2022, it was reported that a significant population of migrant workers from Hong Kong were primarily from countries like the Philippines, Indonesia, Myanmar, Thailand, and Nepal and domestic workers from other parts of Southeast Asia.

Isaiah 1:17 - Defend those
The collaborative efforts in Hong Kong, Korea, the Philippines, and the Pacific Islands resonate with the call to action found in Isaiah 1:17. In these regions, diverse communities are partnering to advocate for the rights of marginalized groups, including migrant workers, indigenous communities, and those facing cultural displacement due to environmental challenges. Through initiatives such as advocating for migrant workers' rights in host communities and defending indigenous groups affected by displacement in the Pacific Basin, individuals are actively seeking justice and standing up for the oppressed.
