Clearing the Path Fund

A significant number of believers who want to serve God cross-culturally are held back by debt. According to the College Board, over half of students who receive bachelor’s degrees graduate with student loan debt, owing an average of nearly $30,000.

For those pursuing long-term service in least-reached communities, paying off this debt can be a substantial and discouraging obstacle. It can delay their arrival on the field or keep them from getting there at all—preventing those who still wait to learn of the good news of Christ from being introduced to Him. But through the generosity of many members of the Body of Christ, the burden of student loan debt is being lifted from those who want to go.

Christar is grateful to partner with The GO Fund, a program of AIRO that covers monthly student loan payments for cross-cultural workers serving long term among unreached people. By taking on 100% of this debt, this ministry enables workers to go to the field sooner and devote more time and energy to training and ministry.

Thanks to Christar’s partnership with this program, qualified applicants who plan to serve with Christar are preapproved. This partnership is made possible through donations to both The Go Fund and Christar’s Clearing the Path Fund.

Your generosity can help a Christar worker serve among the least-reached without the burden of student loan debt. Your gift of $125 through the Clearing the Path Fund covers Christar’s portion of one monthly student loan payment for a cross-cultural worker, with additional funds provided through our cooperative partnership with The Go Fund.

Participate by Praying for the Clearing the Path Fund:

• Praise God for the numerous Christar workers who have been able to leave for the field sooner thanks to The Go Fund.
• As these workers use their skills to build relationships in their communities, ask God to open the hearts of people to the gospel.
• Ask the Lord to continue to provide the resources needed to partner with The Go Fund so that more cross-cultural workers can reach the field sooner and serve without the burden of student loan debt.
