Check this out: The New Immigration Geography of U.S. Immigration. What a great link from the del.icio.us christians network (link)! Washington, D.C. is ranked seventh out of US metropolitan areas in terms of percentage of foreign born inhabitants. DC is also ranked as an “emerging” gateway for foreign-born people. There are some surprises too, like Greensboro-Winston Salem. I had no idea it was an upcoming immigration gateway. My buddy Tadd will be interested in that. Other upcoming gateways? Austin, Charlotte, Raleigh-Durham, and Salt Lake City (?). It’s interesting how three of the upcoming gateways are in NC. Weird, huh? Check it out and see if your place is up there. It’s important for ministry to know who you ministering to.
