Ryan Franklin
Team Expansion to strategic immigrant communities in the United Kingdom.
Ryan shares, "Three years ago, Team Expansion took on a big initiative to start a new project in East Africa focused on the Somali people-- one of the most unreached and volatile people groups in the world. During the survey and research period, it was found that outside of East Africa, the largest diaspora of the Somali people is in the United Kingdom. We are currently in the process of starting phase II of this project.
With all that said, I have been deemed the individual to pioneer this new project. We are currently in the planning stages where we would have boots on the ground come September of 2021. Personally, though, I have done additional work among refugees and immigrants in Italy and France, and with villages in Ghana. These experiences I look forward to sharing with students and adults at camp. "
