The wave of immigration from Puerto Rico to the US has just become a tidal wave. We are here in Puerto Rico trying to reach them before they reach you.There is a mass exodus of Puerto Ricans leaving the island for greener economic pastures. They aren't dispersing into the surrounding Caribbean nations or Latin American countries.
Puerto Ricans are all naturally born US citizens and can enter the US at any time, just like anybody from American Samoa or the US Virgin Islands would, without any passport.
What happens on the mission field, doesn't always stay on the mission field.
About 4 million Puerto Rican were in the US and another 4 million were content to remain here on the island. Now, it looks like a lot more will be moving to join friends and family residing in the US.
What is done on the mission field will affect those living in the States.
Will the Puerto Ricans entering the US be Christians or not? What will they be packing in their suitcases? What kind of neighbors will they be? We are working here on the island to make a difference, changing the nature of that stream entering the US.
Please help us make that difference by supporting our ministry. You may contact our mission agency here and they will tell you how to do it.
