“Beyond Multi-Culturalism to True Community” with Nikki Toyama-Szeto
Webcast provided by Calvin College, Fremont Area Community Foundation, and the Dogwood Center.
Nikki Toyama-Szeto is on staff at InterVarsity Christian Fellowship and serves as the Program Director for Urbana, a student missions conference that gathers 20,000 students from 120 different countries. Urbana has been running triennially since 1946 and over 200,00 people have attended. She consults and speaks for a variety of campuses, churches and organizations and currently sits on the board of Mission Year, serving as their chairperson of the multi-ethnicity committee.
Much of her insights stem from experiences living among the poor people in the slums of Nairobi, Cairo, and Bangkok. Prior to entering ministry, Nikki spent several years working as an engineer in Silicon Valley. She is the co-editor of More Than Serving Tea, a collection of essays, stories and poems looking at the intersection of race, gender and faith for Asian-American women.
