    Often, our missioners, upon their return from overseas mission, will continue their service to mission, mission education, and MKLM by working in MKLM's U.S. operations activities and programs. This helps us defray employment costs, thereby allowing us to focus funds on keeping missioners overseas so they may continue to serve the poor.
