The Go Fund

The Go Fund

Purpose: Eliminate the barrier of student debt for qualified missionaries working among the unreached by paying 100% of student debt for approved missionaries.

Background

The Problem:
• Student debt prevents missionaries from going to the field
• Degrees are key — 60% of the unreached live in countries closed to missionaries but open to college graduates
• Real tuition costs have grown 2-3x since 1990
• 56% of graduates have $28,800 in student debt
• Most missions sending agencies have a student debt limit of $20k for aspiring missionaries

Solution

The Go Fund helps long-term, qualified missionaries get to the mission field by paying their student debt.

Eligibility

• Missionaries working among the unreached
• Those with student debt barriers to service
• Approved by the fund

Geographic Scope

• Global focus on unreached people groups

Key Concept: Ropeholders

Ropeholders are monthly financial supporters who hold the ropes so missionaries can go. The term references William Carey's statement to Andrew Fuller: "I will go down into the pit, if you will hold the ropes."

• Monthly subscription option: $14/month to send missionaries to the unreached
• Creates community of people passionate about sending missionaries to hardest-to-reach places
