Created for purpose
“Since I started my business," says Nemmat a TOLI entrepreneur in Egypt, "I feel like I am a precious and valuable person.”
Before an entrepreneur receives a microloan and starts a small business, they attend TOLI’s Business Basics Course. There, Field Staff share Psalm 139.
"For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well." – Psalm 139:13-14
TOLI Field Staff look at each soon-to-be entrepreneur in the eye and tell them they’re loved. They are valuable. God created each person for a purpose. No matter their circumstances, no matter their material poverty, they’re fearfully and wonderfully made.
Before joining the TOLI program and starting her own bakery, Nemmat felt useless. But now, she sees herself as a precious and valuable person.
