Business as Mission

Faith2Share members believe that God has ’good news’ for everyone. For the sick this can mean health and for the lonely it can mean friendship, but for the millions who have no employment the best news they could receive might well be the chance of a job. 

 

If you want the theology here it is!  Christians believe that each of us is made ’in the image of God’ - God the creator who worked for six days before resting on the seventh. We believe that being creative, contributing to society, supporting a family and feeling proud of a job well done are all part of being human. Work, whether it is paid, within the family or voluntary, brings us dignity and a sense of who we are and what our place is in the world. Of course not all work is creative, healthy or gives us dignity, but that’s another story!

 

Mission has often focused on caring for others, preaching or teaching, but we believe that mission is also about healthy businesses that provide real opportunities for women and men to be like God, creative, working for others and then being able to say at the end of the day, “that was a good piece of work”.

 

Business as mission is not about business which is really just an excuse for other types of mission. It is about real business that makes a profit, cares for the environment, resources communities and transforms the lives of individuals who previously had no hope of working, no chance to contribute to human wellbeing.
