Creating Economic Opportunity And Building Futures

“You shall eat the fruit of the labor of your hands; you shall be happy, and it shall go well with you.” Psalm 128:2


More than a third of our world’s 6.6 billion people struggle for the necessities of life -- food, water, shelter, clothing -- on less than 2 dollars a day.


Poor people around the world work and want to work. But they need help to adequately meet their families’ needs.


We believe it is not enough solely to give people basic necessities like food and water. We must also help them provide those basic needs for themselves.


Local economies are today linked to the global economy. Worldwide exchange is creating opportunities for people in even the most remote corners of the world to produce and market goods for the global marketplace. International Ministries sees great hope in this.


Through our missionaries, global consultants and development workers, we are providing basic education and vocational training so people can build economic independence. We are helping people grow better crops and acquire good strains of cows, sheep and other animals to feed their families and generate income. And we are helping communities tap that most precious resource needed for life -- water.


We do not work alone but in partnership with local people, who are uniquely able to identify needs, guide culturally appropriate responses, and provide local accountability.


For instance, Mike Mann partners with rural coffee farmers in remote areas of northern Thailand to grow beans and get fair prices for their crops from major global coffee brands. Ed Noyes works with Congolese farmers to cultivate trees producing commercially viable yields of palm oil. Terry Myers teaches town and rural families in Bulgaria the skills of making business plans.


Let’s work together.


Invest in projects that empower families to earn an adequate income.

Share income producing skills with rural or urban people.

Support those helping people to help themselves.
