“What keeps me here? The mission, the people, and the chance to continue to fly! How can one argue with being a direct part of the process that ends up with someone holding Scripture in their own language and knowing the results this can have on their life? How can one argue about working with a singularly focused group of passionate people all sharing this vision, mission, and goal?”
