Diving for Pearls

Pearl Dive is the digital platform of the Asian American Christian History Institute. It is your gateway to stories, podcasts, and historical resources that the Institute gathers.

We believe that encounters with the Great Cloud of Asian American witnesses will build people up and form historically enriched disciples. Our histories can correct, heal, empower, and reimagine hope.

We envision a day when the stories of faithful Asian Americans, Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders are familiar to everyone.
