God brought together a garment industry expert and a serial entrepreneur and unleashed their passion for women, business, and bringing the Gospel to SE Asia. Our guest is Liz Henderson and she tells the story of Avodah Global.

Avodah Global is an Australian-owned clothing manufacturer dedicated to sustainable and ethical production practices. The company provides training and safe employment to trafficking survivors and vulnerable individuals in Cambodia, aiming to disrupt traditional garment manufacturing models that often involve unsafe working conditions and environmental harm. By establishing small, digitally enabled sewing hubs, Avodah Global ensures quality garment production, environmental responsibility, and fair wages for workers. Their comprehensive services include design, pattern-making, fabric sourcing, sampling, and final production, all tailored to meet the needs of fashion brands seeking ethically made products. 

Learn more at their website, www.avodahglobal.org or contact Liz directly at [email protected].

Mike is joined by Mike Turner, Director of Coffee (yes, that’s his real title) at Serve Hope International. His work is a beautiful combination of providing water purification technology to Central Americans, selling coffee in a “Direct Trade” strategy that benefits customers and growers, and disciple making through the relationships that are formed. It’s a great story and a great product (I just ordered some). Mike Turner can be contacted and you can learn more at https://www.servehope.international, www.buycoffeegivewater.com, and [email protected].

Andrew Brummett is a seasoned educator with a vision to bring back proven practices in educating our children—micro-schools. Not just small schools but community based education that fits the size of their location and meets the needs of students “as it used to be.” This is a business opportunity, a community transformation strategy, an international education solution (especially for BAMers), and a way to disciple our kids and grandkids.

Stan Bockmann and Dick Weidner are veterans of the BAM movement. Their passion for global discipleship led them to business as mission and their background in the financial world led them to form capital funds to support startups and scale ups around the world. Their current endeavor, the Legacy Generational Fund, acts as a conduit for funds in the neediest and most often overlooked places, places more conventional investors rarely go. LGF is an opportunity for more than investment; it also invites investor involvement in the businesses they help launch. As they raise investment dollars they are also looking to engage the next generation of believers to take the lead in their work.
