Christian Field Partners
From Kivapedia
This list of Christian Field Partners, a subset of all Kiva Field Partners, are Christian organizations, dedicated to helping people both practically and financially via microcredit, and spiritually via the gospel of Jesus Christ. This gospel tells of the justification of sinners by faith alone:
"For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them." (Ephesians 2)
It is hoped that this list will be useful to Christian Kivans, for whom God has prepared good works, in making investment decisions.
As a general rule, if an organization's website or Kiva entry does not make it clear somewhere that the organization is Christian, they won't be added to this list (because of Matthew 5:14-16).
An add-on for the Firefox web browser is available that, when you give it a list of Field Partners, will highlight loans from those partners on the Kiva website. In addition, the Kiva fundraising loans search tool, Kiva Lens, allows advanced search filters by Field Partner. A Firefox list and Kiva Lens list for copying and pasting can be found at the bottom of the page.
