God Works Long Distance

October 11, 2021

Africa (w/out the Trip) If you’ve been following our recent saga, you know we weren’t able to actually go to Africa as planned. So we can’t call this an Africa Ministry Trip.

Talk is not Cheap

March 7, 2021

Talking is Important. Missionaries need to talk… fluently! They have an important message to communicate. And it takes years of hard work to gain that fluency.

Hearts

Reaching the Unreached Next Door

October 11, 2016

Punjabi Sikhs America (and California in particular) is home to many Punjabi immigrants who are members of the Sikh religion. Sikhs are not Hindus, and are often mistaken for Muslims because of their turbans and beards. Sikhism is a monotheistic religion which was founded in the 15th century in the Punjab region of India, and […]
