Housing is booming in a North Portland neighborhood called the Pearl, specifically the North Pearl. The North Pearl lies just beyond Lovejoy Street.
Currently, there are 6 multi family projects totaling more than 1300 units being developed. This will bring an additional 2,000 people to the central city. We as Northwest Baptist and the North American Mission Board have no churches in this high density neighborhood. What an incredible opportunity for those not faint of heart!
The Barry Apartment Report estimates 10,000 to 14,000 new apartment units in the Portland metro area this year and next--half of them in Multnomah County. How will we go and make new disciples among these urban hipsters?
Who will go and join God in His work in the North Pearl? What team of disciples willing to push into the darkness and make disciples will go? What partners will stand in the gap to pray, support, and serve this band of brothers and sisters in order to see God's church expand to these neighborhoods?
