Good News For All, to the Ends of the Earth

Introduction

This is The Thread: AIRO’s monthly missions-focused newsletter.

In 2015 when we approved our first missionary partner, 150 missionary partners felt like a pipe dream. But, here we are, nine years later, and we’ve hit it. 

More missionary partners approved also means more student debt payments. So while hitting a significant approval milestone, we also crossed over $2 million in student debt repayment! 

Two huge milestones to celebrate.

We believe everyone has a role to play in the Great Commission. The sender, the goer, and the faithful believers to come.

This season we’ve invited our generous community to help us say “yes!” to 25 additional missionary partners in 2025. The financial goal is $250,000. We are excited to share we are over 80% of the way there!

If you are considering a year-end gift this year would you consider giving to global missions through AIRO? 100% of your donation goes toward eliminating the barrier of student debt for missionary partners eager to get to the field. 

Headed to the field!

Eliminating the barrier of student debt is one part of getting missionaries to the field. For most of our partners, they spend months in training, raising monthly support, and securing visas to get overseas. So when we see missionary partners finally hit the field, we celebrate!

Over the next two months, we will see 10 missionary partners hit the field. That’s huge. 

Today we want to introduce you to two. 

Sienna is headed to South Asia. Her first two years will be spent learning the language and shadowing teammates. This will enable her to join her team’s local export business and serve unreached people long-term! 

Gianna is now working in Southeast Asia with a team that serves local families by providing parenting resources. Like many partners, she will spend the first year or two in full-time language learning. Communicating with families in their heart language will be foundational for gospel work down the road! 

Thank you for helping us send quality missionary partners like Sienna and Gianna to the field. You are playing a part in their story and the one God is writing among the unreached!
