His book is a treasure trove of wisdom for BAM practitioners.<BR/><BR/>Beth and I talk about Ken's definitions all the time- we often see businesses claiming to be doing Business As Missions (because it's the latest hot trend in missions) when from what we can tell, they are really "Business For" or "Business And" companies.<BR/><BR/>However, most don't take it kindly when you point that out! We were silenced on a different blog for challenging the assumptions and asking questions about the statements made in the post (they were helping missionaries start businesses to get into closed countries - BFM).<BR/><BR/>So, I hope everyone who reads Ken's words will evaluate their <B>motive</B> for doing what they are doing... and make sure the not only <I>call</I> it the right thing, but <B>more importantly</B> consider if their heart is right, or if they are on shifting sand...<BR/><BR/>BAM isn't the only game in town (and we need everyone activated in their calling) but I think so many people are missing God's <I>true potential</I>, for themselves and their business, by living divided lives.<BR/><BR/>It's a journey, and we're all on it, but many times the strongholds of the enemy keep us in bondage- we need people like Ken to break down those falsehoods and release the Kingdom potential in Christian business!Jon Hatchhttp://blogs.globeservebusiness.com/india/noreply@blogger.com
