They have made over 150 loans in close to 50 countries.   The loans vary from 25 to 100 dollars.  It is a way of giving poor and struggling people hope by making them more self-reliant.  The repayment rate on the loans they have made is an amazing 98%.  They started by meeting in the UCity library to make the ministry more accessible to non-church members but now they generally meet on line using Skype enabling people to join in from anywhere.
