How God is Using Business Around the World

Did you know that 42% of the world does not have access to the Gospel? This staggering statistic is one of the driving forces behind Business as Mission (BAM) at Timberline Church. While many areas of the world are closed towards missionaries, they are open for business.

The focus of BAM is on unreached people found in countries closed to sharing of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. This “closed” status prevents traditional missionaries from entering and staying in the country. A legitimate business is required to connect with the communities and create a platform to respond to questions about the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Through BAM, professionals in a multitude of industries are able to transform society and glorify God through the intrinsic power of business. It is an answer to the prayer, “May your Kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven”, as people and communities are positively transformed through for-profit business activities.

Those involved with BAM at Timberline help missionary partners thrive professionally, so their businesses gain local credibility in the marketplace, and grow relationships for kingdom impact.

We invite you to pray for those serving the Kingdom through BAMs, as they are working in countries where it is against culture, and sometimes against the law, to share the Gospel. The risk of persecution through being closed down, harassed, and even imprisoned are realities for these faithful BAM operators.

“Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Matthew 28:19-20

In Him,
Chad Walker, BAM Director
