Quote of the Week

How well do you know the area you live in? Our quote this week comes with a challenge. With the constant influx of immigrants and refugees into our nation there's a good chance you have members of an unreached people group living nearby.   This gives you an amazing opportunity to impact groups that are difficult to access in their home nations.  The challenge is to look at your own community and see what groups you have access to.  You may be surprised at what you find.  For example, one of the largest communities of Somali people outside of Africa live in Minnesota, of all places.   You can see from the chart below how many diverse groups live in the San Francisco area.  While not all these groups are considered "unreached," you can get an idea of how many unique groups populate our cities. After doing the research ask yourself what you can do to welcome and share Christ's love with these people.
