Interesting, we have still been mostly focused on the traditional mission efforts with the indigenous European population of church rebuildings and re-populating local churches or constructing new ones if needed. We do it in a sort of non-denominational way, which has been interesting in France...

We did a lot of this back when we were in Florida. Due to the weather and location we've always had a big homeless population especially in Jacksonville, but it got much worse after that great recession and it's only gotten worse in the years after that even though the media was always trying to...

I'd say it depends a lot on location of ministry.
