Immigrants becoming the Majority in many US cities

"For the first time, racial and ethnic minorities make up more than half the children born in the U.S.....348 of the nation's 3,143 counties, or 1 in 9, have minority populations across all age groups that total more than 50 percent." says CBS News

There is a very good reason churches should support missionaries that can help them reach the minorities in their own neighborhoods. These minorities  are becoming the majority. Not only is it good policy to reach them for Christ, it is Biblical obedience to do so. Soon it might just be essential for the survival of the church itself. If the population of a city is replaced by one race and no evangelism has occurred, what will the future of our churches be in those communities?

Great post. This is a very timely thought for those of us in the USA, so I've posted this to Athenians, the Christian news aggregator. You can read the discussion it generates at http://www.athenians.info/stories/immigrants-becoming-the-majority-in-many-us-cities
