Opportunity:
 Give Through UMC Microfinance Program

Around the globe, more than 3 billion people live on less that $2.50 per day.  Many depend on self-employment for their income.  Weather by managing a simple store, a home-operated bakery, selling goats or providing seamstress services, people use their God given ability to provide for their families.  But often they are unable to grow their businesses due to the lack of capital and basic financial services.

The United Methodist Church is partnering with the Foundation for International Community Assistance (FINCA) to bring financial services opportunities to low-income communities in places where Methodist churches already are hard at work, and sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ.

One such place is the Malawi Provisional Annual Conference, where Karen Johnson Ujereh, Global Ministeries' missionary, serves as director of the United Methodist Malawi Microfinance Program in Blantyre, Malawi's second-largest city and commercial capital.  The Malawi mocrofinance program is a pilot joint venture of Global Ministries, the Large Church Mission Connection in the United States and the Malawi Provisional Annual Conference.
