There’s nothing like the shelter of a steady paycheck. Lots of people have the ability, perseverance and good ideas to successfully run their own businesses. What they lack is start-up money.
There are places in the world where just a few American dollars can start or expand a profitable venture. Many Christian ministries offer loans or gifts in the name of Christ.
Christian Aid Ministries calls their program SALT: Shared Accountability, Lending, and Teaching. They use microloans, savings groups and agricultural and vocational training:
“Our goal is to walk alongside clients, helping them use the resources God has placed in their care and teaching them the importance of following Jesus in everyday life.”
Lord, you used a bit of bread and few fish to feed thousands. Use a bit of money and few eager hearts to provide safe and steady incomes in countless impoverished places.
