The world's greatest need & your greatest strengths
We're launching a new business venture within the neediest part of the world with the aim of bulstering the area through employment, discipleship, and economic development. But we can't do it alone. We're looking for talented individuals to join our team as Management, Advisors, and Investors.
If you're passionate about world missions, have some business skills, and a willingness to learn and laugh in a new culture, you're just who we're looking for. Ideal candidates have entrepreneurial experience, mission work experience, have lived or worked abroad, and have a true love for the people of the world.
We're now working toward a 2014 launch by researching, planning, and recruiting new team members. If you or someone you know may be interested please send them my way.
Business as Missions is a global mission movement that uses business to glorify God in cross-cultural ways. We want to build an SME (small to medium size enterprise) within the 10/40 window. Successfully employing, witnessing to, and doing life with 100+ local employees by 2020. Blessing employees, familys and communities through good business.
You can help us out-
- Print off some of our materials and hand them out at work, school, church...
- Subscribe to this RSS feed to stay informed on our progress
- Add this to your facebook profile, myspace page, linkedin profile, twitter page...
- Email this to a few friends or co-workers
- Pray that our efforts would glorify God, our business would suceed, and people would be blessed.
- Apply to become a team member.
