Coffee and Chocolate and Microloans all for the Kingdom!

        I am Clayton Boeyink, a junior here at Central. This proposal is submitted a little late and I apologize! My wife, Taylor and I each took $20 and when we saw that nobody else was taking the money we took another $20 for a total of $60.  With that money we bought $60 worth of fair trade coffee and chocolate.  We decided to buy fair trade from Work of Our Hands because they are made in poor nations and are given a fair price so they can afford to send their children to school and escape poverty.  We told the manager of Work of Our Hands about the plan and she even gave me her store discount so we could buy even more!  We then decided to resell everything that we bought to friends and family and professors that we knew, and most of them bought our goods for more than what we bought them for!  With the money we’ve received we are going to donate to Hope International, a microfinance non-profit organization that gives small loans to the poorest of poor people so they can lift themselves out of poverty.  The loans are then returned and loaned out to new people and the investments go on forever!  The organization is Jesus centered and offers ministry through its loans as well so it’s all for the kingdom! Sweeeet!
