Another CMT missional priority is Enhancing Border Relationships. The focus has been maintaining communication and networking with other conferences and organizations who serve immigrants and refugees at the border. Much of the advocacy and concern has moved away from the border and into our cities where immigrants need to be informed of their rights.
