The North American Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention plans a four-city block development of soccer fields, mixed retail and church facilities to reach the immigrants, refugees and other residents of Clarkson, Georgia. Clarkson is a suburb located along the perimeter of I-285 ringing Atlanta. Unfortunately, residents and city leaders are using the force of the law to derail the development.
The project has a budget of $10-15 million. Baptist Press reported $10.7 million, but secular sources reported $15 million. You can read more on the background of the project and the anti-Baptist, anti-Christian forces at work in the city.
