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.
Impact in numbers 2018-2021
Disclaimer: numbers are a great way to show how God is impacting the world. But… 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.

READ THIS ENCOURAGING STORY
Malawian local leader, Gastern never did proper budgeting in his life and business. He never saved and knew little about bookkeeping. After the training, he started to work on a business plan and opened his first business: a restaurant and small lodge. When fishermen travel through his village, they need a proper place to eat and sleep. Gastern gives them food and a place to sleep in his simple lodge. While these men are eating, he plays the audio bible in their language and shares Jesus with them.
