Webinar: Engaging Second-Generation Immigrants for the Great Commission

A meeting presented by the Ethnic Inclusion Network Community of Practice

Description:

Much of the struggle to mobilize second-generation immigrants (and others of mixed cultural heritage) stems from the struggle to disciple them as youth. In this community of practice session we will discuss ways to make Christ, the Bible, the church, and the Great Commission relevant to young people experiencing cultural in-betweenness.

Presenter: 

For several years, John Yoder was one of the pastors of the highly multicultural Beijing International Christian Fellowship. As founder and Director of Immigrant Ministry Connections, John formed a team that has developed The Hyphenated Community, an online platform providing weekly video and text-based discipleship resources designed by and for second-generation immigrants.

Noting that there are global commonalities to youth ministry and how innovation is diffused, a diffusion model of youth ministry could help global workers and local churches to develop and strengthen ministry to teens in continental Europe.
