“Two Ates” Pocket Proxe
The "Two Ates" (Sisters) Pocket Proxe uses a beautiful art piece inspired by Pilipino culture and faith to help Pilipino American students on campus taste and see Jesus in a compelling and refreshing way.
This Pocket Proxe features a beautiful re-imagining of Luke 10 in a Pilipino context to start spiritual conversations with Pilipino students on campus.

FAQs
What if I am not Pilipino American, or don’t serve PAIV students?
While we long to see every Pilipino American student taste and see Jesus in a refreshing and compelling way, we also believe that everyone can benefit from seeing Jesus through other cultures. Please watch the Blessing video in the training PPT for more!

What is a Pocket Proxe?
A Proxe is a set of large, interactive visual displays meant to start spiritual conversations on campus (with passers-by, both strangers and friends). The term Proxe is a made-up word that we use for interactive art displays that lead to the Gospel. This portable “Pocket” Proxe allows you to have spiritual conversations anywhere: cafe, after class, in the dorm, at work, your small group, you name it.
