    Greetings!<\/p>\n

    World Refugee Day is coming up this month (June 20). This edition of Missions Catalyst includes stories about people on the move, including refugees, internally displaced people, and even nomads starting to settle down.<\/p>\n

    Where will tomorrow\u2019s refugees and immigrants come from? The Fragile States Index<\/a> provides some clues. Wow, tons of data! Jordan is in the news this week, so I thought I\u2019d see where it lands with some of the indicators. Use the site to look up countries<\/a> that interest you. (Thanks to Brigada for the tip<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

    Flowing Data has some maps of what the US would look like<\/a> if Americans returned to the lands of their ancestors. Every dot represents one person.<\/p>\n

    Finally, even as we pray for those in messy and challenging situations, we can celebrate good things that are happening throughout our broken world. Consider the story of the young man in France<\/a> whose daring deed was rewarded with the gratitude of his host nation (Muslim Connect).<\/p>\n
