Description
This envisioning webinar is about church-based mission work in the most ethnically diverse city in the world. After a short presentation, we will have a longer question-answer, group dialogue time. Beginning with ESL (as I did in 1987) we will explore a variety of different ministries which are helpful for new immigrants, and that churches can provide. We will look at these opportunities through Jesus’ Great Commission and the character of God.
