“Planting Seeds of Hope, One Person at a Time.”

“He who is kind to the poor lends to the LORD, and He will reward him for what he has done.” (Proverbs 19:17 NIV)

Dear Friends,

Give the gift of hope this Christmas! Did you know that 60% of the people in Rwanda live on less than $1 a day? Imagine trying to raise your children on less than $1 a day. Imagine if there were no jobs to find and your children were hungry…. What would you do? There are literally millions of people in Rwanda in this situation right now. But this Christmas you can make at difference! You can plant a seed of hope.

What is Microseeds?

Microseeds.org is a Christian microcredit ministry that gives small loans to people trying to break out of the grip of poverty.

1) You lend $50 to a specific person in Rwanda for six months.
2) They use that money to help build their family business.
3) At the end of the six months the money is returned to you or you can lend the money again.

What is Distinctively Christian about Microseeds?

1) Lenders pay the interest/admin cost ($50 principal +$10 admin cost = $60 total).
2) A Christian fellowship is formed with the borrowers. The borrowers meet weekly in small groups and regularly in large group prayer meetings.
3) Microseeds works with the Church in the developing world, empowering the witness and ministry of the Church by caring for the poor.

 

Connecting People

Yes, that is right…at the end of the six months it will have only cost $10 to make a significant change in the life of a family trying to break out of the grip of poverty. And God will take that small seed of faith, that microseed, and multiply its impact.

Like Jesus said, a wise steward will want to multiply the impact of his Talents. By investing in the life of your neighbor in Rwanda through Microseeds.org, you will be a wise steward (see: Matthew 25:14-30).

You can also choose to give a tax deductable donation to microseeds.org without entering into a lending relationship, if you prefer.  To donate please click here:
