Business as Mission

Business as Mission (BAM) represents a movement of entrepreneurs and business leaders uniting with missionaries and missions strategists to utilize their business acumen to take the good news of Jesus into the world. BAM businesses hold a dual emphasis of strategic and sustainable business practices along with the witness of God's love and grace through the relationships built in the marketplace. This course plots the history of BAM, the principles and practice of BAM, considers case studies and assesses examples of BAM in developing best practices, and the strategic role that BAM plays in making disciples of all nations. This 5000-level course is cross-listed with a 4000-level course and includes specific graduate course requirements which reflect appropriate deeper learning experiences and rigor in the higher-level course. This course contains a field-based service-learning component.
