OCTOBER MISSION OF THE MONTH
HOPE INTERNATIONAL
Our Mission of the Month for October is Hope International. Hope International supports savings groups and microfinancing at the local level in many countries in eastern Europe, Asia, Africa, and Central & South America. Their model for savings groups encourages a local group to pool their savings and then decide what investments to support. It may be a sewing machine to for a woman to start a business, better farm tools, or paying school fees. These are loans that are paid to individuals in the community. They pay back the loans with interest, so the group’s investments grow. The entire process is managed by the savings group, with instruction and coaching from a Hope International regional field worker. Hope International also does microfinancing, where Hope is” the bank” giving the loan. Both models provide opportunities for people in regions and situations where loans are not available or affordable. Plan to listen to the sermon on Sunday, October 13 presented by Brian Boycan, Senior Development Officer of Hope International. Learn about and pray for Hope at https://www.hopeinternational.org/. Please support Hope International during the month of October.
