Inheritance Magazine
Inheritance magazine seeks to promote unity among Asian-American Christians through written reflection and discussion on issues relevant in our communities and churches.
Our hope is that Asian-American Christians will be able to find commonality in the struggle for clarity and coherence in our identities, and thus, will take up the responsibilities that come with greater realization of who God created us to be.
Join us on Facebook!
We are looking for people to help out in whatever ways they can.
Please let us know!
