Since 2002
Overview
Reaching business leaders through week-long business strategy seminars using a series of curriculum that is provided.
Our church can engage in a strategic partnership with a missionary who has a vision for reaching the business community in their area for Christ. The missionary enlists the participants (target profile: owners/decision makers in businesses with 25-500 employees), who are eager to learn about business from Americans. Our church would then send a team of 3-5 business leaders (target profile: 8+ years of management experience) to conduct the seminars. The curriculum is provided, while the facilitators speak from their experiences and offer insights tailored to the participants. Mornings are spent in instruction, while the rest of the day is spent visiting the participants' businesses, answering questions and offering suggestions.
A series of 4 seminars (Sales/Marketing, Finance, HR management, and Strategic Planning) comprise the entire course. Between seminars, the missionary conducts biweekly structured discussion sessions using the provided material. Email correspondence provides continued interaction and consulting between participants and facilitators. The resulting relationships allow opportunites for sharing a witness.
