We are all about transforming lives and communities through faith and opportunity, resulting in poverty alleviation and job creation through Christ-centered microfinance. As our name suggests, we are all about providing hope for the present and the future. For the millions who live in impoverished situations, we want to bring hope that through job creation they can lift themselves out of the cycle of poverty and into more sustainable economic conditions. For those who have no hope of the future, we want to assure them that the Word of God offers them the assurance of eternal life through a relationship with Jesus Christ.

For many years, Brent & Chris Ralston have planted churches in the Philippines and coached Filipino church planters. A common frustration was going into squatter communities and impoverished areas and desiring to help people in practical ways but not knowing how. They wanted to meet the needs of the poor without creating dependency. They wanted to minister to the spiritual and economic needs of the disadvantaged. Along with this, they had a heart for Filipino church planters to become entrepreneurs and bi-vocational by starting their own micro businesses so that they could be partially self-supporting and not dependent on outside funding.

We are an evangelical, faith-driven organization dedicated to holistic transformation in the Philippines and beyond, that blends a unique model of poverty alleviation, job creation, and spiritual transformation. Founded on the belief that both economic opportunity and spiritual renewal are essential for lasting change, we work in partnership with local leaders & existing churches to bring hope where it’s needed most. We seek to harness the power of microfinance to reduce poverty, empower dignity, and bring Christ-centered transformation to families and communities.
