There are an increasing number of publications (books, articles, papers) on Business as Mission, BAM. Many are authored by Westerners from a Western perspective and these contributions are good and helpful. But it is not a fair reflection of the global BAM movement, since probably most practitioners and many thought leaders are non-Westerners or run BAM businesses in the Arab world and Asia.

Thus it was a joy to be a special editor for the BAM issue of the Connections Journal two years ago and invite friends and colleagues from all over the world to contribute. The journal contains articles on Business as Mission from thought leaders and practitioners from Asia, Africa, Latin America, Europe and North America

The articles include:

I believe that you are absolutely right that the main focus of articles regarding Business as Mission should be from people who live in the countries and communities which are being discussed. People who are directly involved in a ministry from beginning to end are more capable of deciding whether or not a particular method is working. It is also difficult for Westerners to see the impact that they may or may not have on a particular group of people as indigenous people are less likely to trust Westeners based off of past experiences. Thank you for the links to the articles as well.
