THE NEED

A church-planting pastor in the village desires to become the business owner of a tailoring shop in his village. All across India tailoring is a profitable business! Most Indians wear custom made clothing. The pastor learned to tailor before being a church planter. He lacks the resources to secure the sewing machine, shop, and materials in order to start the business. Each sewing machine costs $200. This family own and operated business will generate income to support the family and develop the ministry.

Global Hope India has established long-term strategic partners across India. These partners are vetted and held accountable for every gift they receive. Only after a trusting relationship is developed do we help partners start a Micro Business Development program and fund. Each investment made by GHI to start a new business is given to the Indian partner to be used solely for micro business development. GHI trains the Indian Partner to administer the fund. Pastors receiving investments to start their business are held accountable through monthly reports. Pastors must repay the fund without interest within 3 years. The fund is used to empower other church planting pastors to have their own business.

Thank you for empowering the gospel workers of India to stand on their own two feet!
