Assemblies of God turns 100, and looks to a multiethnic future

(RNS) The Rev. Paul Agamiri made a vow when he was housed at a Kenyan refugee camp in the 1990s: If he ever made it to the United States, he would work with white pastors in America.
A decade after he arrived in Fargo, North Dakota, the Sudanese man started All Nations Assembly of God in 2005 with Sudanese and Liberian refugees. It now includes Africans from a dozen nations and three deacons—a Liberian, a Hutu, and a Tutsi. Though just a few white worshippers join the 250 each Sunday for standing-room-only worship, Agamiri wants them to feel included.
