The Mission Model: Why Users Don't Cancel
50% of profit funds spiritual projects worldwide — and each user chooses which project gets their share. Build a chapel, feed the hungry, fund youth mentorship, sponsor mission trips. When your subscription is part of a mission, canceling feels like abandoning the cause, not just uninstalling an app.
