Lord Jesus, we thank You that You entered our world through a humble, vulnerable family.

As Evangelicals committed to Your Word, we remember that You were born to those who were traveling, turned away, and later seeking safety.

You are the God who makes room for us.

So this Advent, teach us to make room for others.

Open our eyes to the dignity of every image-bearer.

Open our hearts to welcome the stranger with wisdom, compassion, justice and love.

Remove fear from us, and fill us with the hope, peace, joy, and love that come from Your presence.

May our churches and institutions be places where Your welcome is felt and Your light is seen.

This Advent, let us be the Inn that opens its doors.

Let us be the people who say ‘Yes’ where others say ‘No room.’

And let our hospitality become a witness to Your Gospel.

In Your holy name, Jesus, we pray. Amen.

May your Advent be filled with hope, light, and the courageous compassion of Christ.

In the peace of Emmanuel,

Rev. Dr. Gabriel Salguero
President, National Latino Evangelical Coalition (NaLEC)
