Comment Naw… you Wall guys! “We have enjoyed Resonate from its beginnings.” JOHN AND BETTY “I don't necessarily want/need digital engagement. I spend so much of my week on screens, reading a beautiful hard copy magazine is an indulgent break for my square eyes.” KAREN “Thanks for all you are doing in seeking to share of God's ministry across so many cultures.” HOWARD “I love to encourage the youth to take them and read it.” LOIS “It broadens my interest in mission.” JEAN “It gives cultural insights from first hand experiences.” THE Next Step From it’s beginning, Resonate has been created to share stories of how God is at work, the journeys of workers as they discern, prepare for and practise cross-cultural ministry as well as provoke thought and discussion about mission.
