In case you missed it, we’re sharing the recording of our March 2023 webinar on gospel-centered youth ministry to Asian American teenagers. On the live call, Rooted friends Clark Fobes, Danny Kwon, and Connie Nelson talked about how they have implemented ministry in various Asian American contexts.
