During Patty’s first year as a missionary, her annual support level—which covered her salary and other expenses—was just $15,000. That was 40 years ago, when she was sent by “Grace Brethren Foreign Missions,” which was later renamed “Grace Brethren International Missions” before rebranding to Encompass World Partners. Needless to say, Patty has witnessed a lot of changes throughout the course of her career.
