This year marks the 20th BUMP in the Twin Cities! Broadening the focus, BUMP Twin Cities will partner with area ministries World Relief Minnesota and City Vision. Both organizations seek to open people's eyes. World Relief MN focuses on the refugee, while City Vision focuses on "thinking global and acting local," helping people to know Minneapolis and St. Paul.
People are often surprised that the Twin Cities has so much diversity. In an article about why they come by Bob Oehrig, Executive Director, World Relief MN, he writes that this is an "unprecedented movement of people." It is exciting to consider this year's BUMPers will be challenged to "open your hearts to what God wants to teach you and what God can teach His Church, through those who have traveled a hard road to call themselves our friends, neighbors and joint heirs of God’s blessings."
God is always doing new things! His heart of compassion and justice drive Him. Pray it drives this 20th BUMP as well!
