Celebrating God's Purposes for Business March 4, 2021/in Business as Mission Review by Jo Plummer We have chosen the themes: CELEBRATE, CONNECT & CREATE for the upcoming BAM Global Congress. As we gather the BAM movement together from every corner of the world, we want to: + CELEBRATE what God is doing through business around the world + CONNECT with a global network of collaborators + CREATE momentum for the future of business as mission In March, as we prepare for the Congress next month (see information below), we are going to focus on the theme of CELEBRATE! I believe that to do effective business as mission, we must start with a solid foundation of thinking about business from a biblical perspective. In other words, before we get to the ‘as mission’, we need to understand God’s design for business – and yes, celebrate it, because it is really good! Celebrating God’s Purposes for Business It is no secret that my favourite quote about business comes from Dallas Willard who said that, ‘Business is a primary moving force of the love of God in human history.’ [1] Business, done well, is glorifying to God and has enormous potential to do good. Business has an innate God-given power to create dignified jobs, to multiply resources, to provide for families and communities and to push forward innovation and development in human society.
