REDEFINING NORMAL – HOW YOUR MISSION DOLLARS CAN HAVE MAXIMUM IMPACT!
3:45 – 4:45
Room: MacIntosh I
In this workshop we will explore the incredible economic impact of Village Savings and Loans groups. This grassroots movement is the way we carry out God’s charge to serve and provide for the poor. When communities come together, their many hands help to lift up each other. Your investment helps provide resources and training needed to find local and long-term solutions to poverty. You will hear stories of lives changed and families established with new hope for the future. You will also hear stories from pastors who are excited about the changes they are seeing and how God is at work in these communities!
