A
pastor in Central Java Province, Indonesia has become self-sustaining
through a microenterprise project of raising rabbits. Before obtaining
such loans, 125 pastors and other Christians on the island did not have
enough income to provide for their families’ needs, including their
children’s schooling, or to sustain their ministries, the director of
the ministry that provides them said. “We were able to not only give
them loans but also to give them business training, basic Bible
teaching, mentoring and encouragment,” he said. About 70 percent of
those who received loans have repaid them. Some pastors have been able
to share the gospel through their businesses. “Please pray with us that
their income will increase so they can better support their families and
meet daily needs,” the director said. “We also hope their profits will
increase so they can expand their ministries.”
