WHAT IS MARKETPLACE MINISTRY?
Your work is your ministry. Marketplace is the area(s) outside of ministry that is identified and coupled with ministry. Marketplace ministry typically refers to evangelism or other Christian activities that are targeted towards the secular workplace, as opposed to homes, churches, or specialized venues. It can also refer to particular parachurch organizations that focus on such ministry.
