To look at the funding aspect of this, Ben, so how have you funded that journey of the company so far to date?

Yeah, that's a great question.

And I think money is one of those things that some founders either take for granted or they'll be in a rush to take money.

And as I said before we started the podcast that I met some young lads earlier this morning and funding is one of those things that everybody...

It's that big question, I suppose, when starting a company.

We started, so originally there was a learning gap at the start.

So say until around this time last year, there was a lot of learning.

And I think to, to, I think before we finish, Ben, if you'd one key piece of advice to share on funding a startup, what would it be? Jesus, that's a good question.

Ben, Talk to me a little bit about what your new role is going to be because we talk about frontline workers at VOM and equipping and encouraging, and it sounds kind of like that's going to be your full-time job is just getting more frontline workers to the field equipped and ready to succeed.

Right.

Well, just a little bit of our history.

You spoke earlier about we were frontline workers ourselves in South Asia, particularly based in Nepal.

And in those years, we were so blessed just to see an outpouring of God's Spirit and an expansion of the church, just incredible, incredible testimonies.

And so this role is actually taking that same work, that same idea, and just expanding the scope.

And so what we would call the core missionary task of entering new fields, abundantly sowing seed of the gospel, raising up and nurturing the new growth, that's called discipleship, gathering into churches and raising up local indigenous national leaders who then take the charge to carry forward and multiply, 2 Timothy 2.2, those things that you've heard from me in the presence of faithful witnesses and trust them to others who will do likewise.

How would you advise us, and maybe sharing from your own story and how God has led you, but for those of us who want to be better at discerning the voice of God and hearing His voice, give us some advice and some maybe lessons that you've learned through this process.
