Let’s Talk
Dear friends of Invested Faith,
The hope and possibility continue to grow as the work of Invested Faith heads into the fall. Today I am delighted to introduce you to another power team of Invested Faith Fellows. As we continue to build the fund we are meeting more and more inspiring, faith-rooted entrepreneurs; I cannot wait to see where Invested Faith goes next!
As we plan for 2023 I am looking for churches curious about sending their witness forward and adding their assets to the fund; I’m also anxious to talk to individuals or foundations who are committed to putting their money to work in efforts to heal the world.
I always remind myself: God is well at work in the world…the only question before us is whether we are ready and willing to join in. I do. I want to go where God is healing the world, and I know so many of you do, too. If you’d like to know more about putting your assets to work through Invested Faith, I would love to chat.
In the meantime, know that we are hard at work selecting our next class of Fellows, and I can tell you…they are amazing. I can’t wait to introduce them to you soon!
Gratefully,
P.S. P.S. Want to support Fellows like Heather and Pryncess in the story we're about to tell you? Give a gift that will have tremendous impact on our world.
meet our fellows
Meet Invested Faith Fellows Heather McDuffee and Pryncess Favors, co-owners of Creations @ the Edge in Colorado Springs, CO.
Heather and Pryncess founded Creations @ The Edge during the pandemic to empower women who left or were forced out of the workplace, often due to child or elder care issues. This makers boutique helps fund women who have a passion for their craft and want to turn a side hustle into a small business. Creations @ The Edge is helping women close the wage gap and gain greater purpose and financial freedom. Read Heather and Pryncess' story.
