Micro-Business for Church Planters
Micro-Business Empowerment for Local Church Planters Fueling Mission Through Sustainable Livelihoods
In persecuted and unreached regions, many indigenous church planters face financial instability and social pressure that threaten their ability to remain in ministry. Without reliable income, even the most committed workers are forced to step away from their calling.
The Challenge:
Church planters often work in contexts where external funding can draw scrutiny or create dependency. Simultaneously, local economic opportunities are limited or require compromises that conflict with their mission. These leaders need dignity-affirming, locally rooted ways to support themselves while continuing to reach their communities.
The Solution:
Through micro-business development, New Asian Pathways equips church planters with sustainable income-generating skills and resources. These small, culturally appropriate businesses not only provide livelihood but also serve as platforms for evangelism, discipleship, and community transformation. With your partnership, we can launch and scale micro-businesses that anchor long-term church planting.
Why It Matters:
- Enables Bi-Vocational Ministry: Church planters gain income without leaving their ministry field.
- Builds Credibility and Community Access: Businesses help integrate leaders into communities with relational trust.
- Reduces Foreign Dependency: Locally sustained leaders model integrity, responsibility, and resilience.
- Multiplies Impact: Profits often fund local mission, outreach, and the next generation of church leaders.
