Our Mission is to Teach People how to Fish!

There is an old proverb that says, “Give a man a fish; you have fed him for today. Teach a man to fish; and you have fed him for a lifetime." Our mission is to teach single mothers, widows, and men basic ways that they can earn an income and care for their families by selling simple items or providing a service. These items may be as basic as selling chicken eggs or as intricate as sewing traditional clothing that could be sold to people living in the United States. Everyone has a gift or skill that could benefit someone else and ultimately help their family produce an income, but in many cases people just need a little help to get them started. Unlike in the United States, people don't have the availability of receiving small business loans for a business idea. Our goal is to work with people whom God has led us to help by providing microfinancing. Microfinancing will be in the form of a donation, as little as $150.00, to help finance a business idea that someone may have in a developing country. We will assess their skills, help them develop their ideas, teach them some basic business concepts and then help them finance their ideas into income producing businesses. As we plan our next mission trip to Ethiopia, through your donations, we can help people by teaching them how to earn an income and ultimately feed their families for a lifetime--Amen!
