Business as Mission 101
Is BAM the major mission movement of the 21st century as many experts have predicted? Join us as we provide an overview of BAM (distinguishing it from the other "camps" of the Marketplace Mission Movement), look at actual models, discuss key issues and obstacles facing would-be BAMers and consider the unseen costs of doing BAM.
Called to the Marketplace: Seeking the Welfare of the City, Always and Everywhere
Believing that vocation is integral, not incidental, to the mission of God, we will look at the perennial task of seeking the welfare of the city-- with its complex social, political, and economic realities. Particular emphasis will be on the importance of sustaining one's vocation, and so developing the habits of heart required to do that in a globalizing, pluralizing world.
Changing Lives through Micro Enterprise Development
Every Product Represents a Changed Life – Come hear how lives are changed through micro enterprise development projects. Combining business and mission, bringing hope to the hopeless: how is this done in the developing world? Testimonies of changed lives will be presented along with samples of handicrafts.

From Killing Fields to Freedom - In for the Long Haul
In order to serve a people group we must first learn to love. In my case, to love the Cambodian people involves learning to grieve. It is in grieving, however, that we catch a glimpse of Christ's heart for the broken. His love is not short lived nor is it a love of convenience. His is a love focused, committed and passionate. To be "Christ like" the bar is set high!

Global BAM Enterprises
Although micro and small-enterprises currently dominate (by sheer numbers) the intentional BAM efforts in the business worlds of Islam countries, India and China, the success rates when requiring both long-term financial and spiritual results are higher with larger-size, technology-based, global BAM companies. Come join us as we look at case studies and discuss best practices.

God's Economy: Rebuilding a Just Economic System
Radical Giving
What’s our response to God’s generosity? How do we think of money and giving from Kingdom economy rather than the world’s economy? Should we think of giving differently as we live in one of the richest countries in the world? What investment report will we give on the day of accounting? We may have more to give, and receive, than we think.
