7 things we're thankful for

Hope lives here.

TOLI works in tough places – places where obstacles seem too high and where safety nets don’t exist. And yet somehow, hope still lives. We give thanks to the God of hope who speaks and sustains and saves.

In 2025, God blessed TOLI’s ministry in too many ways to count – but here are the top seven:

1. NEW LIFE IN CHRIST.
New businesses are powerful, but new life in Christ is priceless. We give glory to God for the many clients and family members who began following Jesus for the first time this year.

2. TOLI’S NEW PARTNER.
We give thanks for our new partnership in Uganda. Deliverance Church Kiteezi is moving in step with the Holy Spirit and lives are being transformed in Jesus’s name. God is opening doors in new places with new families and indiviudals – like Sylvia, the very first client here to pay off her microloan. We praise God for every person who said “yes” along the way to make her transformation possible.

3. PRAYER.
From monthly gatherings in Ethiopia, to revivals in Egypt, to TOLI Tuesday in the U.S. – prayer roots this ministry in God’s sustaining hands.

4. REAL IMPACT.
It is astounding how a single $300 microloan can transform every part of a client’s life. Families are fed. Medical fees are covered. Children go to school. Parents provide for their households with dignity. And from that foundation, clients radiate an assurance and joy that grows and multiplies.

5. MILESTONES.
TOLI has issued over 14,000 loans, and over 6,000 clients are currently in the program. Our Partners’ faithful service in Kenya, Ethiopia, Egypt, and Uganda is truly transforming communities.

6. TOLI FIELD STAFF.
TOLI Field Staff pour out their hearts for the sake of the Gospel. They serve wholeheartedly and walk closely with the families they support. They stand united in prayer – lifting up clients’ burdens while trusting God in their own lives.

7. AND DONORS.
Your humility and generosity truly take our breath away. We cannot wait for the day when we stand together in heaven – donors, TOLI Field Staff, and entrepreneurs side by side – worshipping the Lord, like this:

“After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands, and crying out with a loud voice, ‘Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!’ And all the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, saying, ‘Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might be to our God forever and ever! Amen.’” — Revelation 7:9–12

God has done far more than we could ask or imagine. Hope still lives – and we’re so grateful. THANK YOU.
