"Believers scattered by persecution traveled to Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch preaching Christ. Some crossed cultural boundaries to share the gospel with Greeks. The Lord empowered their ministry, and many people believed and turned to Him." — Romans 11:36”
Faith Nations Fellowship, under the oversight of Faith Community Church, serves people from diverse cultures and nations. Through its Diaspora Ministry, Faith Community Church reaches diaspora communities with Christ’s love through gospel outreach, prayer, hospitality, discipleship, and practical support—helping individuals and families find belonging, grow in faith, and flourish in God’s Kingdom.
Another unique arm of the Diaspora Ministry is leadership development and roundtable dialogue. We bring diaspora leaders together to share their stories, learn from one another, grow in leadership, and explore effective ways to serve their congregations and communities. Our desire is to encourage these leaders so they may flourish in their leadership and the season and calling God has entrusted to them.
