North America

The nations are no longer just across the ocean. They are right here in our own communities.

​

Across Louisville and cities throughout North America, people from around the world are building lives, raising families, and making their homes. Many come from places where access to the Gospel is limited, and language and cultural barriers can make it difficult to connect with a local church.

​

Louisville Metro was home to an estimated 79,465 foreign-born residents in 2023, representing 6.2% of its population. A Louisville Metro health equity report also documented over 130 languages spoken in the community, highlighting the cultural and linguistic diversity of our city. 

​

These numbers represent more than diversity. They represent an opportunity to build relationships, share the hope of Christ, and equip believers to reach people across cultural and language barriers. Through intentional training, local partnerships, and discipleship, we can help prepare believers to serve their neighbors and multiply Gospel-centered ministry right here at home.
