Matthew and Steph Neville, who live in a church as part of a community of believers in Birmingham, have decided they would prefer for vulnerable people to use their first home.
An unspecified number of asylum seekers are expected to move into their terraced house by Christmas.
Mr Neville said: "We each have a choice, and our country has a choice, about whether we want to be somewhere that welcomes people, or whether we want to be somewhere that builds walls and tries to keep people out."
Among church-led efforts to help migrants and refugees is Restore, a project set up by Birmingham Churches Together to offer befriending, social activities and preparation for entering the workplace.
A Monthly Gift Of $11 Makes A World Of Difference
In a world of fake news there’s never been a greater need for quality Christian journalism. Premier’s mission is to provide the Church with the most up to date and relevant news, told from a Christian perspective. But we can’t do it without you.
Unlike many websites we haven't put up a paywall — we want to keep our journalism free at the point of need and as open as we can. Premier’s news output takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. No one in the USA is sharing news like we are across radio, magazines and online so please help us to continue that today.
For a monthly gift of $11 or more we’d also be able to send you a free copy of the brand new Premier Bible, a wonderful Anglicised version of the NLT packed with exclusive bonus content, reading plan and resources to help you get the most out of scripture.
Your monthly support will make a world of difference. Thank you.
