Join the Fight Against Poverty on Five Talents Sunday!

Lift villages out of crushing poverty, create jobs and transform lives in the world’s poorest regions – by helping your church participate in “Five Talents Sunday” on Nov. 16 (or any Sunday of your choosing!).


Call us at (800) 670-6355 to see how your church can make a lasting difference in the lives of the poor – as Nov. 16 is the date that churches around the world preach on Christ’s “Parable of the Five Talents” (Matthew 25:14-30). Join the nationwide discussion on how we can all fight poverty.

Sadly, almost half of the world now struggles for survival on less than $2 a day. And, many of us despair at the enormity of this challenge.

The poor have gifts and talents, and Christian microlending is proving to be a very effective way to lift one village at a time out of poverty.

With small loans of just $50, we’re helping villagers with small businesses – like purchasing chickens to sell eggs. Our donations help, help and help again as these small investments are repaid and loaned out again to others. See how your church can provide a lasting hand up, instead of just a hand out.
