CanIL Launch

CanIL’s ultimate impact is made when communities are transformed through engaging with God’s Word in their heart language. The only way we can succeed in achieving our mission is through you! That means we are invested in your success, not only as a student but also in your deployment to the mission field with a Bible translation organization. Anything that gets in the way of our shared mission fulfillment has our attention!

When your time at CanIL is finished and you’re ready to join (or rejoin) a language project, two things that can slow you down are debt, and raising your monthly support. For years, we have operated a robust financial aid program to help students circumvent, reduce, or eliminate debt. Equally important is the ministry of raising ongoing support. Our desire to help equip you in this vital area has led to CanIL Launch, addressing the distinct needs of two subsets of students: those anticipating a field assignment (PreLaunch); and those returning to a field assignment (ReLaunch).

Prelaunch

PreLaunch is for students who declare an interest in a first-time field assignment with a Bible translation organization, and who expect therefore to be relationally funded. PreLaunch helps students establish a core ministry team, build foundational church partnerships through our Church Matching Grant program, understand the essentials of fundraising, and share their ministry vision through a compellingly written newsletter.

Relaunch

ReLaunch invites returning students who are already relationally-funded workers in the global Bible translation movement to join CanIL Launch as peer mentors to PreLaunch students. Participating in ReLaunch establishes eligibility for the Ministry Team Matching Grant, which is built on the model of our Church Matching Grant.

Important
