Learn About Vision 9:38
Our mission, values, and leadership drive everything we do to empower ethnic minority missionaries and organizations
OUR STORY
Inspired to Make a Difference
Vision 9:38 was born from Byron Johnson’s deep conviction to address the unique challenges faced by ethnic minority missionaries. During a mission trip to Mexico City, Byron realized the critical need for greater representation of African-American missionaries. This realization sparked the vision to empower and equip ethnic minority missionaries to make a lasting Kingdom impact
If this challenge is not addressed immediately and with some resolve, then we will continue to struggle with the inability to hire and maintain ethnic minority missionaries. As a result, the influencing and the impacting of the minority community and the world could be limited.
