What does it mean to see immigrants not as outsiders, but as essential contributors to the Kingdom of God? In this powerful conversation, Aaron Daly sits down with Deenbo Kidane, leader of the Daniel Initiative, pastor, mother, and advocate for immigrant communities. Together, they explore the unique gifts immigrant churches bring to the American Church—including resilience, prayer, faith, generosity, and deep-rooted relationships—and why those gifts are needed now more than ever. Deenbo shares her journey from Ethiopia to Arizona, the life-changing message that first connected her to the Daniel Initiative, and her passion for helping second-generation immigrant leaders discover that they are not here by accident, but by God's design. She reflects on the challenges facing immigrant communities today, the importance of building relationships across cultural divides, and why the Church must resist fear and division in favor of the reconciling work of Jesus. Through personal stories and hard-earned wisdom, Deenbo offers a compelling vision for a more interconnected Church—one where immigrant voices are celebrated, cultural differences become opportunities for growth, and every believer recognizes their role in God's mission. Whether you're part of an immigrant church, a longtime American congregation, or simply longing for a broader vision of God's family, this conversation will challenge, encourage, and inspire you.
