Millions living in developing nations are locked in scarcity, dependent on the endless generosity of Western Christians to meet their needs.

We're on a mission to change that.

The church interior has white tiled floors, a large red cross on the wall, and green decorative window frames.

There's an unintended consequence to Western aid

It inadvertently hurts the people it means to help. It tends to short-circuit creativity, destroy initiative, and undermine the ability of local leaders to solve problems. As a result, the potential of local generosity to transform their community lays dormant.

Together, we can change that

And empower individuals, churches, and communities in developing countries to break free from the scarcity and dependence that has held them back for far too Long. By unlocking the power of their own generosity.

We believe local generosity provides local solutions to local problems

It inspires creativity, innovation, and investment. And it unlocks pent-up potential that has lain dormant in people, churches, and communities for generations.

Think Eight:Seven trains and equips local pastors and leaders around the world in how to unlock the power of generosity within their congregations and communities, by teaching and modeling lifestyles marked by "Excellence in the Grace of Giving," which the Apostle Paul encouraged in 2 Corinthians 8:7.

Inspired by 2 Corinthians 8:7

You help eradicate dependence, unlock the power of generosity in communities around the world, and empower local people to be all that God has created them to be.
