Our website redesign has arrived! It features a new home page, author profiles, improved search function, and more. We would love to hear your feedback. We’ll be hosting a giveaway soon to celebrate, so tell all of your friends about SOLA.NETWORK!
We have two new resources focusing on Afghanistan. First is Yeng Moua’s article: Is God Good? A Reflection on Afghanistan from a Hmong Brother. And we have Hannah Chao’s new interview: My Time in Afghanistan: An Interview with Pastor Scott Oh.
I plan to get together with Hannah Chao soon to record a podcast about our new website. For more resources, read our monthly newsletter and join for free. If you find something worth sharing in our roundups, reach me on Twitter or Instagram.
