Retired IT leader, John Goslin started taking short term trips with International Micro Enterprise Development in the early 2000s. In 2012, he became IMED’s Executive Director, expanding the work of helping start small businesses among persecuted Christian minorities in difficult places and UPG areas. The strategy was to use business to help families survive, to support fledgling churches in these areas, and ultimately see the churches launch indigenous mission activity in their own country. In the 25 years that IMED has existed, they have send thousands of volunteers on these business training trips and seen thousands of businesses launched for the glory of God and the blessing of the nations.
