Under Attack

Our brothers and sisters in India are under attack! They are facing direct, intentionally intimidating persecution. Across America, we are getting ready for Christmas and a season of peace. The reality is that our team members aren’t currently experiencing that same blessing. In late November, on a Sunday night, a RunGlobal team house was raided by the […]
