The Go the Distance Challenge is more than a fundraiser. It is a shared journey. Together, families, churches, schools, and communities can help children across Indonesia experience Christian education that nurtures their hearts and minds. Through Christ-centered schools and trained teachers, children are being discipled to grow in faith, lead with compassion, and become a light in their communities for generations to come.

What is the goal of this fundraising initiative?
The 2026 GoTheDistance Challenge mobilizes communities to support Christian education across Indonesia. Together, we are helping train teachers, support schools, provide scholarships, and disciple the next generation through education rooted in faith, compassion, and hope.
Why Indonesia?
Indonesia is home to 64 million children between the ages of 0-14. There are educational challenges due to populations scattered across 17,000 islands. Quality teachers are lacking, especially in remote areas. There is great opportunity to train local teachers to bring transformative Christian education to children and communities in need.
Why Christian Education?
We believe that the most effective way to reach out to children, set them free from poverty, and share the knowledge of God is through great teachers.
