ABSTRACT
At Lookout Mountain, Microfinance Evangelicals A few years ago, an event listed on the popular web portal, the Microfinance
Gateway, caught my eye. The Chalmers Center for Economic and Community
Development at Covenant College, Georgia, USA, was going to hold a training
conference on Christian microfinance and microenterprise development. The flag-
ship college of the Presbyterian Churches of America, Covenant College, offers both
on-site and online courses for missionaries, churches, and ministries working in the
“Two-Thirds World,” their term for the global South. Microfinance and micro-
enterprise development, as it turns out, are central elements of such training.
