Poverty

Poverty is a core issue contributing to most of JMI’s other global initiatives. As JMI extends its services to every viable continent, we are committed to not only combating the symptoms of poverty – social orphans, human trafficking, spiritual hopelessness, war and threats of war, and inadequate education – but addressing poverty itself through the development of microenterprise opportunities.

       but the wicked have no such concern.” – Proverbs 29:7
