Bridge Builders by Jim Wiebelhaus

Bridge BuildersI want to invite you to Bridge Builders – a conference about mind-blowing opportunities to reach people groups with the gospel. Jesus commanded us to make disciples of every people-group in the world. He is so serious about this that He has brought millions of people to our front door.

International Students: Their number has grown to 890,000 and half of them are from the least evangelized countries of the world. Most are eager to make American friends and you could be the first Christian they have ever met. They are the future leaders of their countries and by ministering to them you are reaching their country with the gospel. God is very strategic!

Immigrants: There are 40 million firstgeneration immigrants living in the U.S. Many immigrants come to the U.S. due to severe stress or violence in their home countries. They need to learn the language, how to file forms with the government, how to drive and shop, and they need friends! As you take the gospel to them, they are able to reach their own cultures. This must be our priority if their nations are to be reached with the gospel.

Are you interested in cross-cultural ministry? Do you sense that God might want you to do ministry overseas someday? The best way to prepare is to learn from, pray for, serve, love and evangelize the people groups God has brought to your city. Bridge Builders encourages and informs people interested in cross-cultural ministry. Doug Brown, Ching Yu, Guang Song, Kenny Young, Robbie McAlister, and others will be sharing their stories and passing on what they have learned, May 22-24 in Omaha, NE.
