About This Project

Help national pastors and church planters maintain their ability to answer God’s call on their lives, not by accepting salaries from foreigners, but by becoming self-sustainable. Through training and assistance, this project will help local pastors to care for their families and advance God’s kingdom. Your gift to this project will help provide three rounds of twenty micro-business grants. The grants will be used under the tutelage of a master trainer leading a viable, multiplying CPM strategy. Under the trainer are several pastors/church planters. These men are not usually paid and are, therefore, rather poor. Each series of grants will fund twenty of these men to either start or expand a business, allowing them to provide for their families as they plant and pastor churches. The grants will also deter them from jumping to organizations that offer small salaries but often have shaky theology or methodologies. Partner with this project today to help South Asian pastors work in full-time ministry while providing for their families’ needs.
