The story your gift makes possible

Two goats, one shop, seventy on Friday

Loserian · Naalarami, Tanzania

Three years ago, Loserian Simon Mollel walked from region to region selling shoes and belts, earning about $2 on a bad day. In September 2024 he sold two goats and opened a small shop in Naalarami. After the Pioneer Business Planting training in June 2025, he writes down every item he buys and sells.

“I used to think that I am the boss. But now I have realised that God is the boss of my business, and through the business I can get my salary.”

Today he serves 25 to 30 customers a day and shares Jesus across his counter. Every Friday, seventy of his neighbours gather as a church, and three friends his age have started businesses after watching him.

1 team → 150 trained a year

One team. 150 lives a year.

Every facilitator we equip joins a team of 3. Each team runs 3 trainings a year with 50 people each, reaching 150 people with Pioneer Business Planting. Across 33 teams, about 5,000 people are trained in a single year, resulting in around 1,000 new Kingdom businesses that provide for families and fuel Disciple Making Movements.

The power of $1,500

$1,500 plants a church and a business.

One house church and one business, multiplying impact for the long term.

Business for Movements

$1,500

plants 1 church + 1 business

  • ≈15 new followers of Jesus1 through one house church
  • 10+ people impacted food on the table, provision for the long term
  • $100 per new follower
  • Led by trained local believers

U.S. church plant: launch + first year3

  • $70,000 plant under 100 attendance
  • $325,000 plant that passes 200 attendance

Per person: $700 – $2,300. That is roughly 7 to 23 times more than BFM.

  • Starting cost

    $1,500 vs $70,000 – $325,000

  • Proof it works

    In Malawi, a team of 8–10 local leaders has planted around 400 house churches across the country.2

Plant a church and a business today

  1. Business for Movements field averages: about 15 new followers of Jesus per house church, at least 10 people impacted per business. $1,500 is our total cost to make the church and the business possible.
  2. Project Malawi.
  3. Christianity Today (2023): plants under 100 attendance averaged about $10,000 startup + $60,000 first year; plants that passed 200 averaged $100,000 + $225,000. Per-person figures assume 30 to 100 and 200 to 300 attendees (our assumption). Attendees are not all new believers. Shown for comparison only.

Turn earthly income into eternal impact

Plant a church and a business. Multiply the harvest.

A $1,500 gift starts 1 house church and 1 small business. Choose how many you want to fund.

Gift per church + business $1,500

What your gift plants

  • 1 × $1,500 = $1,500 your gift
  • 1 × (1 + 1) = 1 house church + 1 business
  • 1 × 15 = ≈15 new followers of Jesus
  • 1 × 10+ = 10+ people impacted by the business

How one church could multiply

Year 0: the house church your gift plants

Year 1: 2 house churches

Year 2: 4 house churches

Year 3: 8 house churches

doubling every year: Year 10: up to 1,024 house churches*

* An upper bound, per house church: it assumes every house church starts one new church each year and none stops (210 = 1,024), with about 15 disciples per house church. Real movements multiply, but less evenly than this.

Thank you from the field

National leaders share what your support makes possible.

“After this training, my life has changed. I’ve learned new things—not just about business, but about responsibility. I now say, ‘I will.’ Not ‘we will,’ not ‘someone will,’ but I will do what God wants me to do.”

Eridard Okwiri Eridard Okwiri
National Leader – Uganda / Facilitators Training Attendee, June 2025

“I learned that we must always begin with prayer and continue with prayer. I learned how to teach others, ask questions, listen well, and make sure there is follow-up. Training is not the end—we also must be coached, mentored, and multiply others.”
