Ministry Focus
Business & Community Development
Businesses are driven by profits and our business ministries are no different. We’re not talking dollars and cents — we’re talking lives and eternity.
By developing small businesses and using them reach impoverished or hard-to-reach communities, our missionaries are teaching important skills and providing meaningful jobs to people in need — all while sharing the gospel. These unique business ministries are helping our missionaries improve communities, build meaningful relationships, and share the gospel and disciple workers in regions of the world where Jesus’ name isn’t widely known.
Use Your Business Skills on the Mission Field
We need innovative, business-minded people who are passionate about reaching communities for Christ. We’re always looking for new ways to use business as missions or for people eager to plug into the variety of business our missionaries have already launched.
If you want to combine your business mind and your heart for missions, we want to talk to you.
Is God calling you to use your skills on the mission field?
