Trainees during a  Session

The fight against poverty has prevailed throughout the story of salvation. Though the goal of the Lord in the Scriptures is to fight sin and set mankind free from the grip of sin, complete freedom is at the core of salvation. In his books, Moses mentions several times how much the Lord cares about the material needs as well as spiritual ones. Unfortunately spiritual needs have been prioritized turning Christianity into the opium of the people.

The Christian Association to Fight Poverty(ACLCP) has set its goal to spreading the good news in a practical way such that people will see and touch what the Scriptures mean when it talks about the love of God and the freedom in which He calls us. Teaching the hurting people how to care for themselves and providing them with seed money in the form of small loans seem to us very key in our endeavour to spread the gospel. In the past year we scheduled four training sessions. Our classroom which was designed to seat 50 people was filled such that we asked our church to borrow us some benches.

One of the major topics of our session is business as a mission. We have realised that farm and small skill businesses are occupations that provide resources to thousands of people. For us as disciples called to bring people to live a Christ- like life, we have a huge opportunity if we would consider these areas as our mission.

Our small loan program which has disbursed over $32,000 has been a very good incentive for all those willing to practice their occupations as a mission.
