But when I visit Fort Worth, and travel around the city, it is a huge culture shock to me. There are so many ethnicities represented in that area. The last time I visited the mall there I was the minority.
When I'm there, I attend the largest UPC church in the area. Great pastor and people! Awesome worship, and wonderful attendance. But it is a church that is over 90% caucasian.
The area is booming! My cousin is a land developer, and can't keep up with the demand for his services.
I write this knowing that there are huge charasmatic churches in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. Is there a reason why we don't have more, and bigger, churches in that area? Are there no efforts to reach the enormous Asian and Hispanic populations? Did we get a late start there?
This is not a slam against the churches and ministers of that area.
I am just curious.
