Bringing harmony to a community, and advocating racial reconciliation and cultural unity to the world lies in the love all should see in the church of God. If the church is to be an example and make a difference, the only option is through multicultural ministries. And yet, Sunday morning remains one of the most segregated times in America.

For over forty years Dan Willis has led a thriving, multicultural Christian community in the suburbs of Chicago, IL. He is the Senior Pastor of The Lighthouse Church of All Nations. The church began with 16 members and has been nurtured in growth into the largest multi-cultural church on the South Side of Chicago with over 5,000 members.

Pastor Dan's driving force has always been that of a peacemaker and to unite people from every nation and background; regardless of age, gender, or race.Pastor Dan has now put his experiences and his practices of building and sustaining a multicultural ministry in a thought-provoking book THE MULTICULTURAL CHURCH: Embracing Unity and Restoration. In this mind-stimulating and heart-mending book, Pastor Dan shares what he has learned, the mistakes he has made, and what can be done to successfully minister to a diverse culture today and in the future.

In the book, Pastor Dan shares...We are inhumane when we treat others differently for no reason other than historical hypocrisy and injustices based on themes of irrational prejudices. I am aware that some of the roadblocks to unify humanity in this country are at times overwhelming. We have only to look at the current political climate we face in America today. However, Christ clothed himself in humanity to save us. He did this not only for the purpose of salvation but also to put himself in our shoes. Christ, through His Father's indwelling power, is without sin. He was totally human. Since Christ's power resides in us, we too have the divine power to walk in our full humanity. God is not calling for a powerless church to stand idly by and minister in a vacuum. His desire is that humanity be our lifestyle.
- (excerpt from THE MULTICULTURAL CHURCH book)
