BIG NEWS FOR MISSION RESOURCE

Tonight I am simply reposting an important development at Mission Resource. This has me excited! Here it is: This is BIG NEWS… We are excited to announce a NEW WORK for Mission Resource in Ghana which we are calling “The Empowerment Fund”. Some time ago we came across a thriving savings and loan ministry in Ghana which had been started by a good friend of ours. In recent years, although the ministry had continued to be successful, its sponsoring agency decided to pull away. Without the Lord’s intervention, the ministry was set to dry up - And hundreds of men and women would lose access to life-changing financial resources! It was clear to us at Mission Resource that the director, a Ghanaian named Eric Awortwe, was a talented and dedicated man, “with a head for business and a heart for Jesus”, as we like to say. Under his leadership, the program was meeting the financial needs of individuals in remote villages outside of Cape Coast, a couple of hours drive west of where most of Mission Resource’s work has taken place previously.

Mission Resource is excited to preserve this ministry, setting Eric and his team up for continued growth as together we serve budding business men and women around Cape Coast in Christ’s name. Although The Empowerment Fund is different from our established model in significant ways, its approach has been highly effective in its local context. We will share more about its distinctives in the coming months!
