"'Look around and you'll see the fields are ripe for harvest.' Jesus said this in Samaria, a community on the margins of society. In Embracing the new Samaria, Alejandro Mandes points us to the mission field in our midst, left untended when the church fails to reach out to ethnic-minority and marginalized communities.
