B. and E. both served actively in local churches, and after their marriage, planted a church for fellow refugees, where they trained 17 new believers to become leaders. E. also manages a school for refugee children and women. Seeking new ministry opportunities, they connected with EveryEthne and plan to move to Canada to reach immigrants from Afghanistan, Iran, and Central Asia.

In the unlikely event their application is rejected, the funds will be designated for other Open Toronto Initiative church planters that we would like to recruit from outside of North America.
