I loan because:
I believe our God is a God of justice and mercy, who calls us to follow in Jesus’ footsteps to be agents of change in our communities and throughout the world. Kiva is a wonderful way of fulfilling that call.
Through Kiva, we are given the opportunity to reach out to others beyond our own borders. Often, it is the case that we tend to be ethnocentric in our thinking and geocentric in our scope of influence when it comes to our generosity.
We all share this planet, each of us are responsible to one another; helping to assure a better future for all people, everywhere. KIVA provides the perfect opportunity to do just that.
How many times have you said to yourself - "I wish I had the time to lend a helping hand," or "if I only had a way of getting involved that made it easy for me to contribute, I would." The time is now, and the place is here. With just a few clicks of the mouse, and a few key strokes, you now have the ability to change a person's life forever. In just a few minutes of your time, you can help bring the benefits of the global economy directly into the hands of those who are in the deepest need. Make a loan today.
By making these loans, you have the unique opportunity to teach those who come after you that, if we are to all survive the insanity of this world, we must learn to act in unison with one another, to care for one another, and to build a better tomorrow for all people; no matter of race, color or creed.
Peace, Kurt
