A meeting with the Ethnic Inclusion Network Community of Practice
Description: Pastor Robinson will share the story about how God sent an MBB (Muslim Background Believer) from Burkina Faso, West Africa around 2003 to his church. It became clear pretty quickly that God had a calling on his life and he was invited to be involved in the missions ministry. There was a steep learning curve and a number of miscommunications, but God blessed the partnership as eventually brothers and sisters from Burkina Faso and other francophone West African nations came to a prayer meeting in one of the church’s conference rooms. The MBB is now the senior pastor of “Centre Chrétien Eau Vive” (French for “Living Water Christian Center”), the bilingual French and English congregation affiliated with Bethel Gospel Assembly which serves the spiritual needs of the growing number of French-speaking West African immigrants in New York City.
Come join us in discussing:
-how we can see the Kingdom of God grow by blending the resources of our more established American churches with that of 1st generation immigrants to America
-what might be some best practices for partnering with immigrant churches to be more effective in world missions
