BUSINESS as a Vital Part of the Great Commission



MICROENTERPRISES

LARGE-SCALE ENTERPRISES -- Are there large-scale microenterprise
development providers in your area, but you don't know how to work with
them? Is there a benefit for the people you minister to if you could
learn how to do this? Following is just one of the courses we are
offering in May 2003: Partnering with Large-Scale Microenterprise
Development Providers: Many churches and missionaries are located in
regions in which there are large-scale, microenterprise development
programs operated by Christian and secular agencies. The presence of
such organizations provides the potential for effective partnership.
However, such partnership does not happen automatically and is often
inhibited by lack of mutual respect and understanding between the
partners. This course is designed to help churches and missionaries in
the Two-Thirds World to understand large-scale providers in order to
foster more effective partnerships.
Enter the second annual Christian Economic Development Institute
running from May 19-30, 2003, and sponsored by the Chalmers Center for
Economic Development at Covenant College, Lookout Mountain, Georgia,
USA (10 minutes from Chattanooga, TN). Recognized by many as the
leading expert on urban missions, Dr. Ray Bakke, Executive Director of
Urban International Associates, is the keynote speaker. This training
opportunity will give you the tools you need to minister effectively to
the poor in Christ's name. For more information, please visit our
