About This Partner

Lift Off furthers the Great Commission by creating a body of knowledge for well-grounded decisions which support well-being and retention of workers who enter missions single, both men and women. Particular areas in focus are the gender demographics of missions, culture/beliefs, and organizational structures with regard to singleness.

Enabling critical research to happen by awarding research grants, Lift Off resources agencies to help keep good people, attract many more, and support the natural generational growth of the Great Commission workforce – in turn furthering the spread of the Good News to the nations.

We anticipate awarding the first research grant(s) in 2027, once legalities are in place. In the meantime, we are seeking substantial grant funding (foundations, corporations, individuals), well-qualified researchers, and interested others with academic and/or practical skills (including fundraising). We also welcome single (and single-experienced) global workers, both men and women, bringing insights from critical reflection on their experience.
