Multicultural Ministry
At the Central States Conference of Seventh-day Adventists
What Does Multicultural Ministry Provide?
The Multicultural Ministry is focused on expanding and coordinating the establishment of churches of diverse ethnic backgrounds within the Central States Conference region. This involves identifying various ethnic communities, planning evangelistic endeavors, and establishing new churches as a result of these initiatives. We offer vision and support to existing churches through training, evangelistic aid, and ministry development to ensure their ongoing mission to spread the gospel, as outlined in Acts 1:8.
In Acts 1:8, Jesus articulated the purpose and method of fulfilling the commission. It was indeed an ambitious plan to spread the message of salvation globally, despite geographical distances, language barriers, and cultural diversity among nations. Reflecting on the Old Testament, we see God's design to establish a focal point for wisdom and salvation by selecting a nation (the Jews) and designating a city (Jerusalem) to serve as a beacon for nations drawn by the extraordinary acts of God through His people (Zechariah 8:20-23). However, in the New Testament, Jesus sends his disciples beyond Jerusalem to fulfill the commission by reaching out to the world.
