Glorify God through Business

How do we go about using business to glorify God?

Identifying the impact of a business gives business owner a different view of what influence it is making in the society. A business can impact and reach out to many more people than what a church can. Think about the influence circles of a business, they include employees, clients, venders, competitors, customers ... etc. Exploring what impact a business can make help business owners to see a different purpose of the business and how it can be aligned with God’s plan.

Through the training, we learn about how to practically apply biblical principals to run a business so that God's character is reflected. We look at 10 aspects of a business: Purpose, Products, Positioning, Presence, Partnering, Process, People, Place, Planning, and Profit and understand the biblical basis for each of the Ps. We use these bases as our guideline to work with business owners. Identify where the Ps of their business are and the gap between where they could be if the business is aligned with God's will. And then, together with the business owners, we come up with strategies and action plans to minimize the gap.

This is what I am gonna be doing in South Africa, sound interesting right! =)

As believers, not all of us are called to be pastors but all of us are called to preach the kingdom of God. Luke 9:1-2 And he [Jesus] sent them [his twelve disciples] to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.
