In 2006 the Full Gospel Trust of India received<br />

at two-year $5,100 grant matching church support to start<br />

a micro-finance outreach for women in the Bhalsawra Deri<br />

community of Delhi, India. The Trust is an umbrella NGO<br />

representing roughly a dozen local churches based in the Indian<br />

capital. The Trust gathered vulnerable migrant women from<br />

different states in northern India into cooperatives, provided<br />

small business and vocational training and gave small loans<br />

to each woman. Each beneficiary returns the loan amount<br />

with two percent interest within 11 months, so the funds can<br />

be used for another small business. This initiative is one of<br />

several undertaken by these local churches hoping to provide<br />

a tangible witness of the love of Christ to nearly 3,000 women<br />

in the first few years of the project.<br />

The <strong>Mustard</strong> <strong>Seed</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong> desires to share God’s love by<br />

providing economic opportunity to disadvantaged individuals<br />

as a deliberate outreach strategy of churches. While most<br />

micro-finance initiatives that we support aim to empower<br />

poor Christians, some are designed as an outreach strategy<br />

among non-Christians. These initiatives often involve the<br />

establishment of small cooperatives or savings groups through<br />

which strong relational bonds form and the love of Christ can<br />

be more authentically demonstrated and proclaimed.<br />
