NORTH AMERICA: People in Diaspora in New York City, Toronto

Source: Global Gates and Missio Nexus

People of many nations have landed on the shores of North America looking for refuge, community, a new home and hope. These diaspora people groups have settled in urban areas often creating sub-communities within larger cities. There are many mission agencies and churches that are engaged with direct ministry. But there is still a significant need for engagement for these people to be reached with the gospel and find true, lasting, and eternal hope.

God has brought the nations to us; will we be faithful in taking his gospel to them?

Download a “misssiographic” for New York City and a new one for Toronto. Look for data visualizations about three more cities in months to come.

Note: Looks like the New York City metro area is home to more than four million unreached people, 20% of the city’s population (roughly equal to its entire population in 1900!) Global Gates says at least 20% of the Toronto population is also unreached.
