What if El Paso could be sacred ground, a place where pilgrims came to seek the heart of God?

Sami DiPasquale, executive director of @abarafrontiers, leads tours and collects art and plans for a border chapel with this vision in mind.

Con el tiempo, una idea descabellada tomó forma en la imaginac Sami DiPasquale, director de @abarafrontiers. ¿Qué pasaría si El Paso pudiera ser un lugar sagrado donde los peregrinos vinieran a buscar el corazón de Dios?

The first bill in our election series is the American Dream and Promise Act of 2021. This legislation passed in the House and currently lacks the support needed to clear the filibuster to take up a vote in the Senate.

What do you think of this bill?

Border Encounters are listening trips to inspire connections across divides.

"I learned how many inaccurate assumptions I had. I've never understood the truth to these complex issues."
