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 Gastern Phuzo from Malawi
Gastern was born into a poor family in Monkey Bay, Malawi. Throughout his life, he struggled with poverty and sank into bad habits, including alcoholism and abuse towards his wife. At one time, for one straight week, he would just sleep outside of his house holding a bottle of beer in his hand.
However, one day he had a change of heart and turned to God for guidance. In 2019 he met a local leader of All Nations, and through repentance and baptism, he fully accepted Jesus Christ into his life. From there he began to break the chains that imprisoned him in darkness for many years. In 2020, he did a Pioneer Business Planting training that completely changed his life. Now he has a successful fishing business with 40 employees and he leads a network of house churches started among the unreached.

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 Coaching
Through regular meetings an experienced coach will help the participants develop their business plan, church planting plan and develop further skills needed to start and grow the business and their network of churches.
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, savings group, personal savings, loans from friends and family etc. We also set up local FaithFunds to start the businesses.

Annual Report 2022
Our annual report for 2022 showcases the stories of how we faced and overcame challenges which inspired us to exceed our limitations and foster growth. We achieved significant progress in Mozambique and the Middle East, where we entrusted local workers with leadership roles in business training and farming initiatives. It has been truly gratifying to witness the expansion of businesses and churches through our unwavering dedication. In order to sustain this momentum, we have made substantial investments in strengthening our foundational principles and providing comprehensive training to local leaders. Furthermore, the completion of the Pioneer Business Planting Online course will greatly support our mission to empower more individuals to establish Kingdom businesses and make a meaningful impact among the unreached population.
READ THIS ENCOURAGING STORY :
“Finley from Kenya went from being an alcoholic to a successful young businessman and church planter. He grew up attending church but didn’t understand the value of being a Christian until he turned his life around. After realizing he needed to change, he quit drinking and turned to his pastor for guidance. With the help of his pastor and Pioneer Business Planting, Finley started his own barbershop and poultry farming business. He is shaving around 20 to 40 customers per day. He now uses his businesses as a tool to spread the gospel and help others in his community.”
