In response to last year’s Christmas project catalog, several gave towards a business development project to train and empower 20 members of the GMI-affiliated churches in Cameroon to start and run small businesses.  After eight years of conflict in the country, many are still trying to recover financially to support their families.  There were eight beneficiaries of this program, who received small start-up loans.  Some have already paid back the loan entirely, and others have partially paid theirs back in just a few months since disbursements were made in April.  A lady named Murine was one such beneficiary.  She was able to purchase food items initially and began making a profit, which has grown her business.  The additional income has blessed her family!
