It is a great act of generosity and passion when a person contributes to the work of feeding the hungry and meeting other critical human needs. Even better is when the people being reached can be given the training and tools to support themselves and feed their families on an ongoing basis. These families become self-sustaining, bringing health and hope to entire villages and towns. Learn how this is being done through “Business As Mission”.

One principle of life proves true all the time. It doesn’t matter whether you know about this principle or believe it or not. It’s in the Bible and always proves true whether you believe the Bible or not. What we seek in life sets the course for how we think and how we live. Hear an extraordinary story about a man who learned this principle through great adversity, and is building a ministry around it.

We usually think that mission work is funded by donations, contributions, and fund-raisers; a person or company provides money to a Christian organization with the hope of making a difference for good. What if there was a way to use investment (rather than donation) dollars, get a financial return on the investment, and still make a Kingdom impact?  Most people don’t know about this option. You will know about it when you hear this episode.

It is amazing how much inspiration and wisdom about business is found in the Bible!  Sure, there’s lots in there about God’s grace, heaven and hell, life and death, and good and evil. But God did not leave us clueless when it comes to work and jobs and business. People who follow Biblical principles have a distinct advantage over all others. The advantage? God’s blessing!  Hear it directly from these successful business leaders.
