New Mentorship Program for Christian Business People

The “Great Commission”, the “Transfer of Wealth”, “World Changing Revival”, “Signs and Wonders”, “True Prosperity”, and even “End-Time Prophecies.”

 

These events happen when Christian Business People fulfill their unique role within the Body of Christ and take their rightful position in the marketplace.     

 

As Christians we are constantly encouraged to seek God’s will for our lives, to understand and accomplish our purpose in this day and age. Beyond the “Five Fold” ministries (Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Pastor, and Teacher) there exists the majority of the Body of Christ. Within that vast majority, Christians have to function “in the world” without being “of this world,” and demonstrate Christ.

 

These Christian Business People are not second class citizens in the Church. Grounded in the Word, inspired by God’s examples, and lead by the Holy Spirit, their impact is both significant and meaningful. Pooling and coordinating resources, they serve as the catalyst for financial stability and church growth. They can influence and inspire those inside and outside the walls of a church.    

 

While we identify, train, and disciple almost every conceivable "gift," "talent" and "call," there remains one that has been virtually ignored, the Christian Business Person. It’s time to take our citizenship within the body of Christ seriously. Most Christians can name examples of Godly men and women from the Old Testament like Abraham, Joseph, David, Daniel, Esther, Ruth, etc.  These individuals affected the marketplace, the economy, helped shape world events, and protected God’s people. In the New Testament we have Matthew, Zaccheus, Joseph of Arimathaea, Barnabas, Martha, Lydia, Tabitha, etc. Today’s believers must understand their purpose, and step up and deliver on God’s promises.
