For the immigrant sitting with paperwork that never ends. For the refugee who left everything and is still learning to call somewhere else home. For the one who wonders if God came with them when they crossed the border. He did. And He sees you. Letters to the Scattered is a 30-day devotional written from inside the journey, not from the other side of it. Moving verse by verse through the book of James, each day meets you in the real weight of displacement: the language barriers, the legal uncertainty, and the exhaustion of starting over, the quiet fear that one decision could undo everything. This is not a devotional about surviving immigration. It is a devotional about encountering God in the middle of it. Author Gemima Kerren Cadet was born in Haiti, survived the 2010 earthquake, spent years living under Temporary Protected Status in South Florida, and relocated to Canada as a refugee in January 2026. She writes not as an outside observer but as someone who has had to hold on to God in real time, with her own life still in motion. Drawing on the story of Hagar, the displaced, the unseen, the one who met God in the wilderness and named Him El Roi, the God Who Sees, this devotional reminds the scattered what the world calls displacement, God calls planting. Each day includes: A passage from the book of JamesA reflection grounded in lived experienceA Truth to Ground YouA practical activity to anchor your faith Perfect for immigrants, refugees, diaspora Christians, and anyone who has ever needed Scripture to meet them not in comfort, but in the middle of real uncertainty. You are not invisible. You are not forgotten. You are exactly where God planted you.
