Reaching the World Here at Home

Kids and adults from all over the world are living right in your backyard, eager to hear the gospel.

You can encounter people from "the nations" right here in the USA. Our unique "melting pot" here in the US is filled with people from around the world who are here for the short term and for the long term, and nowhere is that more true than in cities like Washington, DC, New York, Boston, and Los Angeles. Our large population of immigrants and international students constitute an opportunity to reach out to the world just a short drive away.

International students are an especially fruitful area of ministry, since many of them come from areas that are largely closed to traditional missions efforts. The future leaders of China, India, Pakistan, and many other countries are studying today at our colleges and universities. When we preach the gospel on college campuses today a large portion of those hearing us and talking about the good news with us are international students. When these students accept the gospel they carry it with them to become ambassadors for Christ in their own homelands.
