Jon with International Resource Staff at the 2024 CO Resource Connect
My first two Year-End 2024/New Year 2025 updates highlighted that God has me in the right place for impact. More validation came as I began researching missionary attrition after a conversation with a potential financial partner about "boots on the ground." I found that over the past 30 years, 71% of returning missionaries annually do so for PREVENTABLE reasons: financial, organizational, training, conflict, loss of vision, etc… (see full BLOG post here).
With my 20 years of experience as "boots on the ground," I thought, "If the need is boots on the ground, how can we keep those boots, well… on the ground?” This was the stimulus that God used to help me understand my unique contribution to the mission of Campus Outreach and to keep CO missionaries on the field for longer, healthier, and hopefully fruitful ministries for global gospel impact.
As we look toward 2025, I desire to give even more time and effort to my International Network Operations role. Read the field testimonies from Update #2 to understand why!
To put us in a position of strength for the mission ahead, our 1-time goal for 2025 is $12,000. We have raised $2000 so far.
With your increased monthly investment or year-end gift, together, we can be more effective to boots on the ground in Mexico, Brazil, Peru and England.
