# Witness to Win: Missionary Wellness Initiative

## Rationale
>[!note] NOTE: Here, we need to explain why we think this is a major need. Pull together researwch on the amount of money spent to send and train missionaries with the IMB. Then, point out the cost of losing them from the field and having to train another person for the same area.

>[!note] Also note the strategic loses of people who know language and cultures. If our desire is to see the gospel proclaimed among the nations, and increase global evangelism, then these well trained individuals need to stay in place so we can use our resources to send new missionaries to new places without a gospel presence.

>[!note] We could also use the IMB stats on lostness to pain the same picture as them about evangelistic urgency.

# Structure of LOI
- First third about SEBTS and the CGCS and it's mission/vision
    - A description of your organization and the nature of its work (can probably reuse parts of the GTI letter)
- Two-thirds: Laying out the proposal
    - A statement of the problem or need you plan to address and an explanation of how it will be addressed. Include a brief description of anticipated achievements or outcomes.
    - The time frame and cost associated with the proposed activities
        - Pitch the amount of total money requested and how it will be used.
            - If possible, it might be good to broadly itemize each expense within the grant. To keep from being too pigeonholed in this initial letter, percentages may be better than actual dollar amounts.
            - Are there any funds you can and would be willing to use to start this without the grant? Are there any donors we can ask to match a portion of grant funds? It would be good to mention these in the letter as W2W prefers matching existing funds and says they will not fund initial or total project costs.
        - How it will be self-sustained after the grant
