Churchs catering to influx of immigrants in Saint Joseph, Missouri

“The Mexican flag, along with the St. Joseph and American flags, waves expectantly in the breeze in front of South Park Assembly of God.

The Revs. Sharon Spiegel and Oscar Gris hope the banners are a welcome sign to immigrants. Inside, the flags of various Spanish-speaking nations circle the church sanctuary.

Though the influx of immigrants hasn’t exploded quite as expected, churches such as South Park Assembly are continuing their outreach efforts to a population that is slowly trickling into the community.”
