What is Cross Cultural Stress?
Season: 2 Episode: 7
Thank you to all who have given to the 77 Project! As of today we have received $300,000 towards this project and our goal of being debt free! As of right now we only owe $200,000. We say “only” because God has generously provided $300,000 in 18 months. What an incredible testimony to God's faithfulness! It is amazing what we can do together!

Our prayer team receives brief prayer emails twice a month with specific prayer needs for our missionary guests, staff team, and facilities. We are grateful for each and every person who is standing with us in faithful prayer! |
