John Jonas argues hiring Filipinos for online work changes lives. It keeps people home instead of forcing them overseas, builds English skills through daily interactions, and creates jobs for vulnerable people like orphans who otherwise have no options.

You've thought about hiring someone in the Philippines. You have. You've considered it, but you're not doing it yet. Now maybe you think a little bit differently. Like, the person I'm going to hire, this. This is going to make a difference in someone's life. Giving someone a job is. It's going to keep them at home. It's going to not send them overseas. Every companion that my son has is making sure to learn English from him so they can get jobs when they get home. Because one of his recent companions didn't have family to call home to. He was an orphan when he was 16, lived on his own, went into the jungle to find fruit so he could eat and sell. So he could. When he goes home from being a missionary, he will speak English and he will be able to get a job working online.
