(From Joel News Int'l)
From 19-24 January 2003 YWAM International will host a Global Consultation on Business as Mission. Business is rapidly becoming recognised as one of the most strategic tools for ministry within the missions community. At the same time many business people are asking what more they can do with the gifts that God has given them in business. The Christian business community is already engaging with mission in small numbers, but thousands more are eager to get involved. There is an open door for doing business in almost every nation and business activity can have a powerful impact as we seek to disciple nations.
