BUSINESSPEOPLE FAITHFULLY PURSUING

HARSH REALITIES:
UNFORTUNATELY, MOST INTERVENTIONS
ARE NOT SYSTEMIC, PERPETUATE
DEPENDENCY AND LACK RESPECT FOR
THE INNATE CAPABILITY OF ALL HUMANITY
HARSH REALITIES:
WE TAKE A DIFFERENT APPROACH.
We mobilize long-term, hands on global
relationships to form a powerful Christian network
that uses business as the way to create flourishing
economic environments in all parts of the world.

FOUR STRATEGIC DIRECTIONS
GUIDE OUR PLANS AND
ACTIONS:
GLOBAL BY DESIGN EMBRACE AND BUILD
COMMUNITY
EXPAND PARTNERSHIP
MODELS AND GEOGRAPHIES
ADVOCATE
INTENTIONALLY
GLOBAL BY DESIGN
We move further away from the “us to them” mentality through
our structure, brand, board, staff and funding model. We are
linked, not ranked, celebrating and spreading innovation and
entrepreneurship throughout
the system.
EMBRACE AND
BUILD COMMUNITY
Successful entrepreneurs, small businesspeople and
community institutions are a stabilizing force in their
communities. Our partners lead and work toward transforming
their entire community into flourishing economic environments
for all: employing others, encouraging new start-ups, joining
together to develop new institutions for stable, fair and joyful
societies.
EXPAND PARTNERSHIP
MODELS AND GEOGRAPHIES
We will continue to broaden the types and locations of our
network of partners, join with corporations and like-minded
organizational allies for greater impact, expand geographically
to all parts of the world, pursue in-country and cross region
growth, be the catalyst for local expansion with the support
and encouragement of the global network.
ADVOCATE
INTENTIONALLY
Some community problems can only be alleviated when
people join their will and influence together. Our network of
partners works to remove obstacles to fair and flourishing
communities for all. We are intentional catalysts, forging
alliances to build strong economic and social infrastructure,
advance fair trade policies, calm local unrest, restore
property rights, address poor governance.

Is not this the kind of fasting I have
chosen: to loose the chains of injustice
and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the
oppressed free and break every yoke?
ISAIAH 58:6
