BOOKS CHRISTIAN MICRO-ENTERPRISE DEVELOPMENT: AN INTRODUCTION The world of microenterprise development (MED) can be bewildering. There are so many terms, so many organizations, and so many concepts to learn. Frankly, it is all rather overwhelming. Where can a person turn to sort it all out? If this is how you are feeling, then this book is for you. ARTICLES CHRISTIAN MICROFINANCE STAYS ON A MISSION by Rob Moll (Christianity Today) While scandals rock the microfinance industry, Christian nonprofits diversify their efforts to help the poor. DEPENDENCY: IS MICRO-CREDIT AN ANSWER? by Joseph E. Richter It was during our second year of Peace Corps service that God used the overwhelming hopelessness of poverty to convict us of our own lack of love for the poor! Culture shock, sickness, government corruption and nauseating poverty brought us to real repentance and a new life in Jesus Christ. These experiences ingrained in us a love for the poor and a desire to help those in poverty find a dignified way out of it. WORKING PAPERS
