Business Mission Work in the Balkans: Support Sandra

Donation protected
I'm thrilled to share an extraordinary opportunity I have to partner with a business ministry serving the Balkans, on an impactful marketplace ministry project in Macedonia.

This mission will enable me to empower a local faith-based entrepreneur to launch an online business in the U.S., fostering economic growth and self-sustainability through e-commerce.

My Calling and Vision: As someone who has passionately shared God’s love for business and entrepreneurship, I am committed to using my marketing, content, and business skills to upskill and inspire others on a larger scale. Through my Business as Mission work, I’ve seen firsthand how entrepreneurial training and coaching can be life-changing. Now, with your support, I can help grow their outreach, strengthen their programs, and open up greater opportunities for those who need it most.

How I’ll Be Making an Impact: In February 2025, I’ll be traveling to Macedonia for 2-3 weeks+ of hands-on support. This mission goes beyond just launching a business; it’s about empowering a community to create lasting change. My work will include:
  • Developing a comprehensive online marketing strategy for local
  • entrepreneurs participating in this program,
  • Sharing best practices on ecommerce, including subscriptions
  • Creating strategy for social media accounts, and editing content
  • Providing focused individual marketing assistance for some startup clients, including a networking and training event in effective messaging and marketing

This project is only the beginning. Your contribution could also lay the groundwork for future initiatives, allowing me to:
  • Continue to support clients as they grow
  • Work with new clients in Macedonia and Albania
  • Focus on mentoring women entrepreneurs, many of whom have no other support or role models

Why Your Support Matters: This is a powerful opportunity to make a difference in the Balkans, an area where economic and cultural challenges often hinder potential. A donation of any size will have a lasting impact—not only on this entrepreneur’s journey but also on the wider community. Together, we can foster local businesses that grow values-based initiatives and promote healthy families and communities to flourish.

The Need: To make this mission a reality, I need to raise approximately $6,500. These funds will cover travel, accommodations, meals, local transportation, and essential project expenses. Your support will directly fuel this vision, enabling me to bring essential skills, encouragement, and faith to this community eager for change.

Would you consider joining me on this journey? Your partnership means so much, and together, we can make a difference with an eternal impact in the Balkans.

Please pray over this trip, my work in the Balkans, my business ministry efforts, and the work that is currently in place in Macedonia.

With heartfelt gratitude,
Sandra
