Helping People Help Themselves

People in different parts of the world earn a living similarly to how you and I may earn a living in the United States. Some are salesmen, contractors, laborers, farmers, businessmen, clergy, and so on. In each of these occupations, you will find members within these organizations helping each other. As members of the body of Christ, we too must help each other.
Currently, we are in the process of helping a ministry in Ethiopia to prosper by financing the cost to purchase a Bajaj. This vehicle will help a person in Ethiopia earn an income in the taxi business. The cost to purchase a Bajaj is about $4,500. The average income that a driver would earn is about $10.00 a day. Although $10.00 a day may not seem like much to a person living in the United States, in Ethiopia, the increase is significant; especially when the average wage paid is about $2.50 a day.

Also, a person earning this income will not only be able to help increase the kingdom of God through their giving in tithes and offerings but will be in a better position to care for their family. We are asking that anyone who is interested in helping a fellow Christian, living in a different part of the world, to make their tax deductible donation to Heart of Compassion Missionary Ministries. We will continue to provide updates of the progress of this new business venture as they become available.
