Resource Links (BAM)

Business As Mission
Business has a God-given power and potential for good in the world. Yet too often Christian business people have not been affirmed in their call to business. BAM wants business men and women to understand God’s redemptive work through business in the world.
Lausanne Movement
Across the world today, men and women are faithfully stewarding God’s call as leaders and people of influence in organizations, churches, schools, and marketplaces. This is the unique calling of the Lausanne Movement: to connect influencers and ideas for global mission.
BAM Global
The mission of BAM Global is to enrich and invigorate the business as mission movement, resulting in a significant increase in the quantity and quality of businesses and business people involved in God’s mission to the world: the whole church, taking the whole gospel, to the whole world.
IBEC Ventures
IBEC builds sustainable businesses through consultative expertise to change lives and transform communities, envisioning an increase in Small-Medium sustainable Kingdom businesses with special emphasis on areas both economically impoverished and spiritually unreached.
Mats Tunehag
Personal Blog - Tunehag has served as a leader on Business as Mission in both the Lausanne Movement and World Evangelical Alliance. "Throughout history we observe the tension of what is and what it ought to be. God has always called and equipped people to bridge that gap."
Transformational SME
Transformational SME is a global community which assists Christian-led small-to-medium size enterprises (SMEs) to grow in size, profitability and wholistic impact in the Arab world and Asia.
Partners Worldwide
