Edwin is an entrepreneur in South Africa. He has a small business making wire and beaded products. Edwin participated in a Paradigm Shift business training that was being offered by a local church.
Even though Edwin was far from God, he came because he wanted to grow his business and better provide for his family.
Edwin expanded his business knowledge, invested a $185 micro loan to grow his business, learned about God’s love and plan for his life and received a mentor to coach him in this journey.
Over the course of 5 months, Edwin’s business income grew by 40%, he fully repaid his micro loan, and began a relationship with Christ.
What I love about Edwin’s story of transformation is how it’s touching the people around him. He now employs 5 others and is supporting two orphanages in Johannesburg.
