The Ata: God’s Narrative Continues – I really enjoyed this film recounting God’s work in Papua New Guinea. Watch it and be encouraged!

Five Questions With a Former Muslim – Nabeel Qureshi was raised in a Pakistani-American family and grew up a devout Muslim. Here’s a short but excellent interview with him.
