"I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world." John 16:33
Around the globe and throughout history, God’s people have been a unique and distinct minority among the cultures and tribes that surround their Bible-believing communities.
Our research and teaching focus on Christian endurance and opportunity in the face of challenges such as marginalization, hostility, and persecution.
We help Christian leaders and laypeople:
- Understand the church’s experiences as a marginal community.
- Apply the wisdom of those experiences to their own context.
- Support kingdom advance & discipleship amid challenging circumstances.
