May is Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month and we want to celebrate the many AAPI voices of faith that are working to bring awareness to our churches and culture. To better understand the AAPI community’s specific needs, struggles, and hopes, we must take the time to listen to those who are sharing their experiences and viewpoints.

In order to do that, we’ve gathered some resources for you right here. And throughout May we’ll keep adding even more articles, books, art, and music for you to expand your understanding and appreciation for the AAPI community.
