Throughout the Bible, God demonstrates how He can use the smallest of offerings, no matter the size or circumstances. God didn't choose David to take on Goliath because he was strong and tough. David's faithfulness and trust helped 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 transform it into something great.
When we come 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 effect change. How would saving a few cents each week with a group of women in rural Ethiopia really make an impact? How could God possibly take her mere pennies and create something bigger?
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 a 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 in 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, a lot can be accomplished 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 us and let God use our small offerings and watch what He can do!
Your €5 donation (one time or monthly) can make a difference.
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.
