Mobilizing Marketplace Missions
God is calling us to a new path REAL PEOPLE
REAL BUSINESS
Christian leaders identify the workplace as the next great movement of the gospel here and abroad. Why? Because that is where the people are.
Those who are called to “Go and make disciples� in business face many obstacles that can block their path. Mobilizing real business missionaries and successful mission-based businesses requires a level of knowledge, experience and resources beyond what some churches, seminaries, and even traditional mission programs can provide.
Needy People. Hurt People. Lost People. Today, business and commerce is the international language that crosses cultures, religions and race. Every day, around the world, people are reached by business.
A successful mission-based business requires divinely-designed entrepreneurs and investors to create, grow, mentor and nurture the business. It also requires divinely-inspired market and impact opportunities to be met.

REAL IMPACT The ultimate mission of every Foundation business missionary and mission-based business is to impact the world for Jesus Christ. We do this in two ways: Direct Impact: Using business profits to transform lives and communities through the local church. Indirect Impact: Using the business process or product itself to provide lifechanging transformations such as employment, education and meeting basic needs.
Impact grows as the business grows!
A SUCCESSFUL JOURNEY NEEDS A CLEAR PATH OUR PROCESS INVOLVES THREE STEPS Education We understand that marketplace missions can be challenging. We answer this challenge by giving our missionaries the tools needed to become successful. First, business missionaries must apply sound business and missionary practices. Business missionaries must be well versed in the language and culture in the region they serve. They must also be capable of integrating their skills into an impact business. Through assessments, internships, and academic partnerships our missionaries get the training that is needed to become successful.
Planning The tool of a real marketplace missionary is the Kingdom Impact Business. The successful impact business starts with a good business plan. Our Advisory Team of experienced business professionals evaluates impact business plans and provides feedback for success.
Funding Starting a real Kingdom Impact Business takes three types of Capital
FINANCIAL CAPITAL INTELLECTUAL CAPITAL SPIRITUAL CAPITAL
