JVI Program Report (2007-08)
May 2009

Over the last two years, thanks to your prayers and generous investment of time and money, JVI has awarded over $100,000 in grants and mobilized well over 5,000 hours of pro bono services to strengthen justice ventures working in India and China. As reflected in the 2007-08 Program Report, these relatively modest investments are leading to significant returns in securing freedom, justice and restoration for the poor and oppressed living in some of the toughest urban and rural environments in the world, owing in large part to the dedication and skills of our justice venture partners. In addition, the report also reflects our plans for the future.

We invite you to take a look at this report. Moreover, we pray that as you reflect on JVI's work of justice found in this report, you will be moved to spread the word about JVI's work, and to join the work yourself through your prayers, volunteer services and financial support.
