“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”

Matthew 6:19–21

Businesses seeking investment

Each of these businesses has been reviewed, interviewed, and approved by our team. Your generosity helps a family build something lasting and serve their community.

What your money is — and what it is not

Putting money into one of these businesses is not a financial investment. It is a gift toward God's kingdom. There is no return on this earth — no profit, no interest, no ownership, and nothing promised back to you. Your treasure is being stored in heaven. What you receive is the joy of helping a family build a living, and the monthly updates they send so you can see what God is doing and pray for them by name.

Invest your time

Become a business mentor

Not everyone gives money — you can also invest your time. Mentors are business people who stay connected to one business in Peru, mainly as a resource the owner can come to with questions as needed. There is no set time commitment or agenda. You will be connected by email and WhatsApp.

Simple mentor guidelines

  • Stay connected to the business you are mentoring.
  • Answer questions honestly and encourage them as they grow.
  • Point them back to Christ and to their local church.
  • Review the monthly report with the business and give feedback before it goes out to investors.
  • Let the Equip to Fish team know if a concern comes up.
