Ethnic America Network

...A coalition of ministries encouraging local churches to share Christ's love with the growing ethnic diversity in our communities

the Ethnic America Network Presents

the 2008 Ethnic Ministries Summit, St. Louis, Missouri

SATURDAY: The excitement level is high. Conversation is buzzing among participants as to how what they are learning and experiencing here can be extended into their own areas and ministries. Tonight John Perkins is our speaker--it should be a great ending to the event. That evening meeting at 7:00 PM is open to the public.

The 2008 Summit, the 8th annual Ethnic Ministries Summit, is being hosted by Friendly Temple Missionary Baptist Church in St. Louis, April 10-12.

The theme is
"Standing Together --
That We May Be One."

Our Vision:

To see a growing number of churches intentionally crossing cultures to pray and care for others, while sharing the love of Jesus Christ, both locally and around the world.



Our Mission:

To Pray for, Care for, and Share Christ with every person in ethnically-diverse America.
 

Our Primary Areas of Focus:

Ethnic Workers' Summits: Annual gatherings of people in ministry with, or exploring ministry with, their immigrant neighbors.

Ethnic America Database: Mapping the peoples of the world as they locate in North America and matching them with churches interested in ethnic ministry.

Regional Networks: To encourage cooperation and the sharing of resources and ideas among those engaged in ethnic ministry.

Key Projects: To locate and be a catalyst toward the creation of otherwise overlooked projects.

 
Strategic Ministry Opportunities

Type I: Full-time positions at the Billy Graham Center in Wheaton, IL…for seconded missionaries or early retires who can provide their own support.
