Minneapolis is a missions field!
We took our students on a two hour bus tour through Minneapolis this past weekend. Everyone’s eyes were opened when we learned from CityVisionTC.org ‘s executive director John Mayer, as he explained some amazing facts and figures relating to Our Changing world and how we do ministry with the local church.
Some facts that blew me away:
- Phillips Neighborhood is the most diverse neighborhood in the United States of America.
- Largest concentration of Somalis in the U.S.
