In February 2023, Pastor Abraham Barberi, founder of One Mission Ministries in Brownsville, Texas welcomed the FHC Immigration Task Force travelers to the Texas-Mexico border. FHC then invited Pastor Barberi to come to the church in the fall of 2023 to tell about his ministry with asylum seekers at a refugee camp in Metamoros, Mexico.
As a gift to the asylum seekers, Forest Hill Church sent Pastor Barberi boxes full of hand-knit hats for the children and adults living in the Metamoros Camp. Later, he sent photos of immigrants wearing the hats provided by our church members and friends. He indicated that the hats are greatly appreciated and a need for more still exists. Another batch of hats was sent in February 2024.
