What do you suggest? They seem pretty damn convinced. I'm not going to beg them to stay here and drive them away or make them not want to return.
This isn't just my sister, she has a husband so it's their business. I'm just struggling with it because I personally don't see the logic in selling everything, paying for this school, and going to these places. Not without some concrete data to say hey, give us this $, we'll teach you these things, send you to these places, and your success rate will be roughly xx %.
You ask them what they'll be doing and they say they don't know, that's why they're going to the school.

That's what stood out to me. Personally, I would speak to their home pastor to make sure their home church is validating the call. I have never known of a church to validate a call for someone that would answer "I don't know, that's why we are going to school," but nothing would surprise me anymore.
It shouldn't be about your desire for them to stay here. It should be about whether this is the right thing for them. Ask them what happens if in two years they aren't placed (Happens a lot). They are going to come back to nothing and have to start over.
One of the things they will do in school is learn fluency in a foreign language. Some people can't get it. What happens if they can't? They won't be placed. What happens if your sister gets it and your brother in law doesn't? They won't be placed.
What happens if your sister doesn't agree with the water in Tijiuana and stays sick 3 weeks a month? She can't attend classes. They won't be placed.
Have they been on a short term trip yet? Like a 2 week trip somewhere?
