MoP209 Church Planting - Near Cross-Culture Concerns

There is a huge need and opportunity for healthy biblical churches to consider planting a church in their "Samaria." We continue to see large communities of ethnic people around us. They, with all their extraordinary needs and often tragic personal history, need the Lord Jesus Christ presented to them understandably and lovingly. They need a local church that exalts Christ and expounds the Scripture for their life and walk with the Lord. Though the issues of near-culture church planting are complex, we believe God wants us to consider getting involved, just like commanded in Acts 1:8, for His glory.
