How can such a comparatively small number impact so many? And what role can Ethnos play?

“I wish others [in ministry] also got an opportunity to understand worldview… This worldview class, if they could take it, definitely would make a difference
Pray for Ethnos as we continue to train missionaries to reach, in the words of Ethnos’ founder Paul Fleming, “where no witness of the gospel has yet reached.”
