Throughout the Bible, God demonstrates how He can use the smallest of our offerings, no matter our size or circumstances. God didn't choose David to take on Goliath because he was strong and tough. God used David's faithfulness to help him defeat a giant. It's not about what we have. It's about our willingness to trust God with our offering and let Him make it into something great.
When we join together, we can make a difference. When Mihret first joined a Self Help Group in 2015, she had been living in deep poverty without an education and was hesitant it would affect change. How would saving a few cents each week with a group of other women in rural Ethiopia really create an impact? How could God possibly take her mere pennies and create something greater?
But what she didn't see, God did. He knew that her small act of faith would lead her places she never expected! Ten years later, Mihret runs her own coffee business, employs those in her community and business leaders now come to her for advice.
God took her faithfulness in saving a few cents each week and transformed her life around in such a wonderful and unexpected way!
Today, I am not just seen as a woman
but as a leader who inspires others, especially young girls,
to believe in their potential and strive for education and
success. We are showing that change is
possible when we lead together."

Just like David and Mihret, we can do a lot with little. There may be times when we may not have much to spare but God can multiply our offerings beyond our imagination.
This spring, we are asking you to join together and let God use our small offerings and watch what He can do!
Your €5 donation (one time or monthly) can make a difference.
Will you join us today?
Together, we can make an impact. We encourage you to join with your friends, family, church, schools, and more to each donate €5 (one time or monthly) and see what God can do! Collectively, we can reach further than we can imagine.
