Mygration Christian Conference is excited to host its 8th annual gathering on August 28–29, 2026, at McCormick Theological Seminary in Chicago, IL!
Chicago has long been a city shaped by migration — from immigrant neighborhoods and faith communities to ongoing struggles for justice, belonging, and dignity. Over the past year, as immigrant families and communities have faced the heightened reality of ICE enforcement, churches have been called to respond with courage, compassion, and faithful public witness.
In this urgent cultural moment, we are gathering in Chicago to equip Christian leaders to respond prophetically, stand firmly with our immigrant neighbors, and mobilize the body of Christ into redemptive action.
Join us this summer as we learn from pastors, scholars, organizers, and community leaders about what faithful advocacy looks like in a city where immigration is not an abstract issue, but a lived reality for families, churches, and communities across the region.
We hope you will join us for this special gathering in Chicago. Register today!

ROTHERHOOD is a musical feature film from writer-director Ross Boothe that follows the story of two neighbors: Jon is a lifelong US citizen; Fabián, is a Mexican immigrant who has been waiting more than a decade for progress on his US asylum application. As the two men and their families navigate a divided 2026 America, they are awakened to a new sense of their shared humanity and what it really means to love your neighbor. Emmy-winning Broadway and television actor Mauricio Martinéz leads the cast opposite professional vocalist Casey Elliott, a founding member of the tenor trio GENTRI. The film will premiere in theaters across the United States in October 2026. To learn more, visit brotherhoodmovie.com.
THE “LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR” TOUR
Throughout September 2026, Brotherhood’s key creators and cast members (including Martínez and Elliott) will visit 20 major US cities to present the Love Your Neighbor Tour. This free, inspiring community event will highlight a mix of storytelling, live music, segments from the film, and guided conversations that explore themes of identity, empathy, and seeing our neighbors with new eyes. To ground the themes of the film in the lived experiences of the host city, the event will also include a community panel featuring local leaders, nonprofit partners, and others.
This is a live tour event, not a screening of the film. The film itself is coming to theaters in your area this October. The inspiring evening will include
On-stage conversation about the creation of the film with Ross Boothe (writer-director), Mauricio Martínez, Casey Elliott and key cultural advisor Liliana Bolaños
Songs from the film performed live by the cast and composer

This book is a systematic theology of migration that seeks to reframe the operative political, social and cultural narratives through a Eucharistic narrative. The heart of it revolves around the outer journey of migrants, the inner journey of faith, and the divine journey into our world.
Drawing on accounts of migrants and refugees around the globe, the book explores the relationship between faith and justice, theology and migration, and Christian spirituality and the challenges of the modern world. From a theological perspective, it is about the God who first migrated to our world in the Incarnation and the God who calls people to migrate back to our spiritual homeland as citizens of the Kingdom. It explores the body of Christ as encountered inside of a church building in the sacrament of the Eucharist and the body of Christ as encountered outside of it in the least and the last of our world today (Mt. 25:31–46). In the context of the global migration and refugee crisis, it examines ways the divine and human intermingle on our earthly pilgrimage and transform us into the image and likeness of God to become bread for the world through the works of mercy.
