In the past year, St. Peter's in Brooklyn has established Ablaze Covenant outreach into the Latino, Bengali and Caribbean mission zones of Brooklyn and Queens, with more youth and children drawn to the ministries.  Cross-cultural youth expansion will integrate the mission zones into the neighborhood/church youth outreach for the greatest connection of the Gospel to young peoples' lives through increased fellowship, training, experiences and worship.
