Nearly every significant culture has a migrant community in THE AMERICAS. For special mention: *Chinese – over four million all over the Americas. The one million in Latin America are less reached. Their numbers are being augmented by immigrants, especially from Mainland China. The latter need specialized ministry in order to reach them. *Japanese – around three million with communities in Brazil (1.4m), USA (1.2m) and Peru. *Muslims – mainly Arabs in Latin America, but increasing in numbers throughout the Americas via immigration from the Middle East. There are also South Asian Muslims in the Anglophone countries and Javanese Muslims in Suriname. Brazil is especially seeing Muslim growth. Events of the 21st Century have brought focus on these peoples and increased outreach to them. Many Arabs in Latin America are Christian and could be instrumental in reaching Muslims or enabling Latin Americans to do so.
