INDIGENOUS + DIGITAL
Our name comes from the fusion of two ideas important to us. Indigenous because it reflects our desire for locally-generated strategies that work in each generation, language and culture. Digital because we believe digital tools, resources, platforms, and strategies can accelerate God’s mission.
