초록
The purpose of this paper is to explore how the local church reaches out to immigrants. This mission strategy paper explores how the Bible builds the case for reaching immigrants. In this first section, I will suggest Jesus’s cross-cultural strategy to the Samaritan village and provide a biblical model of immigration according to the book of Ruth. Second, to understand why many churches neglect local immigrant populations, this paper will provide a historical understanding of the development of cross-cultural missions and explore how those understandings were applied. Third, this paper will examine an ethnographic study in Lansdale, Pennsylvania, at the Bridge Community Church [BCC] to reveal how the church addresses the immigrant population. Finally, this paper will suggest three main strategies under these approaches (biblical, historical, ethnographic) that BCC may apply.
