Culture + The Unreached Today we're talking to our good friends David and Emily Rimestad. They currently serve in Papau New Guniea among the Maliyali people but missions wasn't always on their minds.

But then God shifted their eyes to the unreached. David and Emily are the kind of people you could talk to for hours and we are excited to introduce you to them!
