Justice for our Neighbors

“ ‘Lord…When did we see you a stranger and invite you in…?’  The King will reply, ‘I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers (and sisters) of mine, you did for me.’ ”  -   Jesus (Matthew 25:37, 40)

Florida has long been a major entry point and settlement point for immigrants and refugees.  They come from all over the world seeking family reunification, jobs, education, opportunity for their children, and safety from war torn lands and political oppression.  Every year, the United States opens its doors to immigrants and provides a process that allows them to take hold of the opportunity that they seek.  But this process is a complicated maze of policy and paperwork.  On one side of the maze, an immigrant family.  On the other side, hope and opportunity.  In between, a maze that requires expertise and compassion.  Our immigration services and attorney provide both of these free of charge for those  who cannot afford the extremely high cost of legal services.

Justice For Our Neighbors in Central Florida is a faith-driven ministry who welcomes immigrants and refugees in Orlando, Tampa, and their surrounding areas by providing free, high quality legal services.  It is also our mission to create a network of churches and organization to serve as advocates who are informed on issues that impact the immigrant and refugee community.  We believe that by doing so we can fulfill the biblical call to extend compassion and care to those in need.
