Beginning a ministry with people who do not speak the same language as you and have vastly different cultural roots can be intimidating and feel impossible, but God can do the impossible!  Listen to stories of Spanish speaking, Korean and Ukrainian church plants.  Let’s begin a conversation about what you see in your own neighborhood and what God might be stirring in your heart. This seminar will include different models to explore best practices.
