Inland Empire

How do you break the cycle of poverty? Some tackle it by giving food or clothing, but houndouts will never change poverty. If you feed a child today, he'll be hungry again tomorrow, but if you empower his parents to provide, you begin overcoming poverty for the entire family. Paradigm Shift, a US-based Christian ministry, is training churches in South Africa to empower the poor in their communities with business training, small business loans and Biblical discipleship. These churches understand that poverty is not just a physical problem, it also requires a spiritual transformation. Forty dollars is all it takes for a South African church to provide this innovative ministry for each hard-working family struggling to live on just a few dollars a day. This one-time donation will provide 100% of the costs for one entrepreneur to receive 7 months of business training, discipleship and a small loan to improve their business through Paradigm Shift.
