Business As Mission (BAM)
Missions opportunities in certain countries can be very challenging due to circumstances like extreme poverty and persecution. Out of these situations, creative approaches are needed to carry on mission work. Business as Missions (BAM) utilizes successful business leaders from around the world to create legitimate, for-profit businesses that in-turn support kingdom work and incubate and engender discipleship.
At Global Cross, we accomplish this prayerfully by launching a start-up team. A start-up team can comprise individuals who specialize in such things as cross-cultural assessment, Christian business principals and practices, church partnerships, communications, global sourcing, marketing, networking, and other important skills.
BAM is a great way to model individual responsibility, discipline and stewardship while shining the light of Christ. Likewise, Believers are able to love struggling communities through BAM by providing jobs and other economic benefit. Contact us if you would like to know more or join us in this ministry!
