LOANS
When your church mission is critical it is important to have partners who understand your ministry and share the same mission. Partners that can shake your hand, look you in the eye and bow their head and pray for kingdom success.
The Extension Loan Fund shares your mission by stating in it’s corporate bylaws that it exists, “to establish and maintain a revolving loan fund and acquire assets to assist, by loans, grants, or otherwise, THE INTERNATIONAL PENTECOSTAL HOLINESS CHURCH, INC.,” therefore making your church mission and the Loan Fund mission like minded.
