News Flash - Business as Mission |
|
Written by Zester Hatfield

“Business as Mission, often abbreviated BAM, is a relatively new term but based on Biblical concepts. Its applications vary from country to country, from business to business. … “The BAM concept is holistic in nature, believing that God has the power to transform people and communities; spiritually, economically and socially. The dichotomy between sacred and secular is not Biblical, but this false dichotomy has deeply affected our views on work, business, church and missions. BAM is a part of a wider global movement, recognizing and responding to God’s call to take the whole gospel to the whole man in the whole world. … “The implication of ‘the whole church taking the whole gospel to the whole world’ includes affirming and mobilizing the business people in the body of Christ. It means releasing them to use their gifting in business to lift the oppression of the poor through business, to transform their own communities and nations through business, and to carry the good news to the ‘ends of the earth’ through business.” Mats Tunehag, Chief Field Officer of Lausanne-Movement.

Currently we have property in the Sacramento Mountains in south central New Mexico, USA, where we are developing plans for a large missionary training center, with one to three year training programs. On site living quarters for single and married students, and courses ranging from theology, business, entrepreneurship, building trades, and bush pilot training. A key element will be real on the job work and training to put the class room work into practice. These jobs will be managed by our own independent companies that will work in conjunction with the training center. The region where this will all take place is high mountain country with four seasons, lush timber, dozens of small communities and more remote than most other parts of the state. It is ideal for the kind of training center we are putting together. We have the use of a 5,000' county owned and maintained airstrip at 6,380' elevation, ideal for bush pilot training. The young men and women who graduate from this program will return to their native areas to rejoin their local congregations, family and friends and become very key elements in the future development of their communities. They will take with them new knowledge, skills and experience sufficient to bring about cultural change and beliefs that will bring glory and honor to Christ. Read more… |
