One of the ways we do that is by supporting different organizations that serve people in our own community and around the world. We focus on a different organization–our Mission Focus–every two months.

Minnesota’s foreign-born population has increased dramatically in recent years, with an influx of immigrants from Somalia, Laos, and India, among other countries. POBLO missionaries and volunteers are involved in missions and community engagement through various efforts. Volunteers teach English, sewing, and computer skills to immigrants and refugees at two International Friendship Centers. Citizenship classes are also offered. Missionaries, together with a group of volunteers, are connecting people from many countries to Bible study and worship as they share the Gospel message. They also provide food, clothing, and furniture to refugees in need. Learn more about POBLO.
2024 is the first year we are partnering with POBLO ministries at Lutheran Church of the Ascension in Burnsville.
