Border Fellows

Borderland Fellowship is a leadership program in El Paso, Texas geared towards young adults and recent college graduates.

Abara Borderland Fellowship Program is a holistic development program on the US/Mexico border that challenges recent college graduates to explore an integrated life. Fellows gain work experience through a structured internship with faith-rooted nonprofits, participate in regular learning opportunities, and are immersed in the Rio Grande community in downtown El Paso, Texas. Our aim is to invest in leaders with the heart and capacity to cross boundaries of culture, language, ethnicity, and class.

Emily Lopynski is taking what she has learned from class on Friday mornings to lead a 3-week, multi-generational Bible study that delves into some of the Scriptures that speak to the issue of immigration. The approach is to come together as followers of Christ to learn, discuss and reflect on God's word.

Members of St. Clement met last week for the first Bible study and also discussed the importance of unity.
