In a world where almost half the population lives on less than $2 a day, finding money to start a small business enterprise is almost impossible. But Five Talents is helping to reduce poverty in developing countries by investing in poor entrepreneurs through small loans, business training and mentoring.

To help raise funds and awareness for this vital ministry, you are invited to participate in Five Talents' 9th annual X-OUT Poverty Golf Classic at International Country Club in Fairfax, Virginia, on June 11.

Over the years, area golfers have raised thousands of dollars to help fund Five Talents' holistic microcredit programs that touch women like Hotmian, an entrepreneur based just outside of Jakarta, Indonesia, where she runs a shop and a small catering business.

Here are four ways that you can participate in this year's Golf Classic:

• Sign up now to be an underwriting sponsor
• Play in the tournament
• Volunteer for the event
• Share the video below with your friends on Facebook and Twitter
