Event’s Narrative Arc

Problem: Many trained missionaries are stopped from serving on the field due to the crushing debt obtained to pursue an occupation that would allow them into a closed country.  

Solution(s): Provide debt repayment programs for approved missionaries 

Outcomes: More missionaries are able to go, and stay, on the field which means that more people are being reached with the Good News, their lives and villages are being radically transformed.
