• The Millenial Minority Missionary

  

  These two words, “Millennial” and “Missionary”, mostly contradict one another. When contradictory words are put together, it forms a figure of speech called an oxymoron, kinda like “jumbo shrimp” and “disgustingly delicious” ….it don’t make a whole lotta sense. Sorry to disappoint you, the millennial missionary doesn’t exist, at least, not in the way we…

• You Are Not Asian: Using Culture As A Ministry Crutch

  

  You are not Asian. You are not any color. Your identity is not based in your cultural roots. What you are, is a beacon of God’s image. You are meant to shine His glory in dark places. You are meant to be God’s living story and go wherever He tells you to go. The problem…

• Jungle Asian – This Is Who We Are

  

  Let’s admit it folks, Americans can be some of the most myopic and culturally inept people on the planet. We live in one of the most diverse countries in the world yet many know nothing about the rich cultures of the people on our doorsteps. Take the famous Texan, Hank Hill, for example. He’s known…
