be the solution to these problems
Most of the movements we know are not self-sustainable. We want to be the solution.
Problems
- Many areas are closed to the gospel
- Many disciple makers do not have the money to provide for their families, give to others and travel to unreached places
- There is a lack of knowledge and experience on how to handle money well (make, spend, save, give, invest)
- There is no capital available to start businesses, because banks don't give loans to these startups and Microfinance loans are too small
- In Africa, Asia and the Middle-East there is a great dependency on Western money
solutions
- Find out what products or services the community needs that they do not have access too and start a non-competitive business in that area
- Training disciple makers how to start a Kingdom business that helps them make disciples among the neglected and provide an income for themselves
- Intense coaching on starting and growing the business while making disciples, growing character and managing money well
- Encourage people to find local funding first and starting up a local FaithFund
- Providing low interest loans from a locally set up FaithFund after the people have been trained and written a viable business plan
Meet oliver and rhoda
For years Oliver and Rhoda have been planting churches among the neglected. Many times they couldn’t pay school fees for their six kids and some days they couldn’t put food on the table.
They are passionate to plant more churches in new villages. Unfortunately they don’t have the money to travel to these new villages and less people will have the change of hearing about Jesus.
With your help, they started to farm rice and a taxi business. Through training them in Pioneer Business Planting, ongoing coaching and access to a FaithFund they can bring food on the table, give to others and travel to the unreached places to make disciples and plant churches.
Impact in numbers 2018-2021
Disclaimer: numbers are a great way to show how God is impacting the world. Remember, they are just numbers. Behind every number are people, stories and communities. High numbers is never the end goal. The end goal is more disciples and churches planted among the neglected peoples of the earth.
We receive our data from our local workers on the field. Numbers change all the time. Businesses stop and start, churches stop and start.
How we work
We are making church planting movements self-sustainable through the following steps.
1 determine location
2 field consultation
In the 5 day interactive Pioneer Business Planting consultation participants will learn how to use business to reach the lost, to write a business plan and skills to start and manage their business.
3 BUSINESS PLAN
4 BUSINESS COACHING
5 funding
Once the business has proven to be viable, the next phase is raising the capital to start. We encourage people to find funds locally through a bank, micro-finance institutions, personal savings, loans from friends and family etc. We also set up local FaithFunds to start the businesses.

When Philip was 14 year old, he drank alcohol, smoked and stole from people. In 2014 he almost got killed because he stole cows from multiple people. His mom cried every day. He went to prison multiple times. Since our workers have told him about Jesus, Philip repented and has been baptized. He is completely changed. He stopped smoking and drinking.When he has money, he buys food for his family.The mom and grandpa of another gangster who was baptized, Blessings, cried tears of joy: “I never thought someone could change so much!”.
