Micro-Loans
In honor of those we have known as mothers and fathers, we offer micro-loans to support those caring for their own families.
Through KIVA.ORG, we choose one mother and one father from another country and offer an interest free loan to help them expand their family business. The loan is repaid through the year, and then re-loaned to another honoree the next year. Money we would have spent on trinkets to recognize parents on Mother's Day and Father's Day is added to the new loans, along with any special gifts that have been given for the project.
​
The pictures and bios of our honorees are shared on Mother's Day and Father's Day, then posted so we can keep them in our prayers for the year to come. You are invited to join us in praying for these honorees, and all are welcome to help expand the amount of our annual loans.
