NATIONS REACHING NATIONS
With 44 countries represented in the congregation, we are beginning to understand what it means to be missional. “Our success rate is not how many people we get; it’s how many we send.” Having traveled to minister in 30 countries so far, we are well on our way to realizing the goal of touching every country represented in the membership of our church. Our goal is to see 50% of the congregation participate in an international mission trip. Currently, at least 35% of our 500 members have completed such a missions experience with many of them having gone on more than one trip.
Because of the uniqueness of our congregation, a study has been done on how multi-racial congregations come together. As a result a book has been written by Michael O. Emerson and Dr. Rodney Woo, entitled “People of the Dream.” The Wilcrest story is a significant part of that book, told from a sociological view. Dr. Woo also has another book, “The Color of Church”, telling the Wilcrest story from a Christian perspective.
