Samuel Teka from the Diaspora Network joins us to talk about something too many churches are missing: the incredible gift immigrant churches bring to North America. Sam shares his journey as a second-generation Ethiopian-American and why building bridges between first and second-gen believers matters more than ever.
You'll hear about the power of open-door hospitality, why missionaries are now coming from the East to reach the West, and what real discipleship looks like in a close-knit community.
If you've been wondering how to engage immigrant communities in your area or empower the next generation in your church, this conversation offers practical wisdom without the politics.
