Business as mission “BAM practitioners use business ventures not only to make a financial profit, but to act as an avenue for the gospel. They administer their companies like any Christian running a business: ethically, honestly, and with concern for the business's neighbours. Yes, they exist to provide jobs and services and to make profits... The business itself is a means to spread the gospel and to plant churches. BAM companies increasingly have a global flavour, creating jobs in developing countries (unlike traditional aid or missions work) and making disciples who carry the gospel to the larger, hard-to-reach community. The BAM model affirms that business is a Christian calling; .... and that rightly done, 'kingdom businesses' offer economic, social, and spiritual help to employees, customers, and nations.” [Steve Rundle, associate professor of economics at Biola University]. | |
