3 · Proposed restrictions & priority for proceeds
The mission field is 44% Hispanic — proceeds should give highest priority to Hispanic/Latino ministry, new Hispanic church starts, and bilingual outreach. The Black population (6% of the field, +60% over five years) supports a Black-ministry priority — note the Plan's caution that the legacy footprint of historic Black UMCs does not track where the Black population is growing today.
