Weekly Roundup

Each Friday I send a newsletter to 1,600 mission practitioners, leaders, and activists, noting events affecting over 1% of unreached populations, how they fit into ongoing trends, and how they represent opportunities or barriers to the Gospel. It’s free: SUBSCRIBE.
 
The Premium Edition ($10/mo or $100/yr) adds short comments on each event, links to longer analysis found elsewhere, and my weekly column. See a sample
