Chris and Stephani Ballinger live and serve in Mongolia, where they’ve planted deep roots in their community through New Roots Coffee, a welcoming café in the town of Khatgal. Their heart for people is evident in the way they use the coffee shop as a space to build friendships, foster community, and create meaningful connections with those around them.

Through the rhythms of everyday life and hospitality, the Ballingers are making a lasting impact in their town. If you’d like to follow along or connect, you can find Chris Ballinger on Facebook, or learn more about New Roots Coffee on Instagram, Facebook, or TripAdvisor.
