The January 10, 2010 issue of Time Magazine revealed interesting statistics concerning racial reconciliation and evangelical churches. Since 1998 the group making the most progress is Evangelical Christianity. Hybel's willow Creek is featured in the article describing some of the activities they have programmed into their ministry emphasis.
Recently when visiting with one of our Baptist regional directors, I mentioned that we were programming a Dr. Martin Luther King Sunday as a feature of our ministry. It was a reminder to me that we are bridging the racial divide.
According to projections by 2050 the I.S. will contain no racial majority. In our ministry right now we are living out 2050. In our child care, tutoring, club ministry and youth ministry we are striving to live out the truth of the gospel and demonstrate that the harmony of the gospel has already arrived.
There are a lot of churches in the Twin cities who operate by the principle of attracting everyone who is alike. I'm thrilled to be part of one that is Bridging the Racial Divide and living out Kingdom values.
