Kealan shares a story of extreme prayer during a time of financial insecurity. By the grace of God Kealan made it through medical school without accumulating any debt. Since then, Kealan and his family have lived life defined by a financial finish line, one that focuses on setting a finish line on their annual spending, and then giving the rest away to other causes.

Through his gift of generosity, Cody has found inspiration in the many organizations that are advancing access to the Gospel through Bible translation.
