Pastor partnership

Pastor partnership businesses

September 2026

Supporting ministry through practical work

The partnership combines business support, training and follow-up for pastors building livelihoods alongside their church responsibilities. Nine businesses were included in the January 2026 trip review: four from the earlier cohort and five added in 2026.

Different gifts, shared encouragement

Pastor Kefezza and Pastor Lauben joined the partnership in 2025. Kefezza sells produce, and Lauben operates a roadside market. Pastor Edvina and Pastor Lovence joined in 2026. Edvina works in tailoring, while Lovence operates a salon and beauty shop.

Building good habits

Mentoring, recordkeeping and follow-up help business owners understand costs and plan their work. The economic-development team visits businesses and encourages practical learning. Pray for wise decisions, steady work and healthy families and churches.
