Business "Loans"

In the rural places of East Africa life is harsh. Unfortunately, death is a part of life. As a result, there are many, many widows (and orphans).

Likewise, poverty is everywhere. The house church network in Western Kenya is committed to empowerment through skills training, business training, and small business loans. For simply $100 USD, a needy individual can purchase some raw materials and begin making crafts or set up a stand to sell produce or linens in the market. This meager amount is what these people need to jumpstart a business that will sustain their household going forward.

As we have gotten to know the situation in Kenya, we have learned that success in business is directly connected to the repayment process. Therefore, the recipients are given agreeable and reasonable repayment terms that make the funds available for the next loan. Therefore, your gift will set up a seed fund that can continue giving as long as the recipients are repaying their loans.

Besides the poor and needy, loans are also given to apostles and evangelists. The objective is to allow these ministry leaders to be bivocational, to allow them to sustain their families' needs without outside support so that they can labor for God's glory and further the Kingdom of God.

With these small loans we can help so many brothers and sisters who are suffering from poverty. You may donate below or go to the donation page.  God bless you so much.

Purchase a Bicycle!

We also want to encourage you to consider funding a bicycle for the apostles and evangelists in Western Kenya. These men are eager to spread the Kingdom of God through evangelism, discipleship, and church planting. However, they can only reasonably travel within walking distance without mechanized transportation. Bicycles would greatly expand their ministry territory and double as a means for increasing productivity, freeing up more time for ministry. A quality bicycle in the rural places costs approximately $100. If you wish to fund a bicycle for one of our ministry leaders, use the general donation field at the bottom of the donation page, and write "bicycle" in the comment field.
