- Joel recounts this conversion to show how God dramatically transformed Mueller's life.
Practice Faith Missions, Not Fundraising
- Do what Mueller modeled: pray and trust God to provide rather than rely primarily on fundraising.
- Joel and Troy present faith missions as a practical alternative to constant appeals and newsletters.
