Rick Wulfestieg, founding Executive Director of Foursquare Media

“Rahab is the story, Barney the interpreter, and a lifetime of personal experiences are the inspiration to find freedom in life’s journey to find your own unique path in fulfilling our one great purpose: to love God and to love people toward him.”

Randy Finkbeiner, missionary to KwaMhlanga, South Africa
