The Great Commission through the Marketplace
2023
April
We are thrilled to share with you the remarkable work God has been doing in the first quarter across the marketplace, the church, and beyond. It is an immense privilege to collaborate with numerous Kingdom companies and organizations, advancing the Great Commission together.
We firmly believe that, regardless of your location or ministry role, whether in the church or serving God within the marketplace, we all have a responsibility to represent Christ and bring healing to the broken systems in every sphere of society. As ambassadors for Christ, our goal is to reconcile people to God, and this remains unchanged within the Marketplace. Through the lives of Marketplace missionaries, individuals are being reached and equipped to fulfill the work Christ has called them to do on this earth (Mt 28:16-20 / 2Co 5:20).

During the first quarter of this year, we were privileged to collaborate with Celeiro Missões in Brazil. In April, Celeiro focused on church reform and planting in the Amazon of Brazil. Now, together with UREV, we are developing new strategies to fund more missionaries, providing job opportunities and training for bi-vocational missionaries. Our focus is to reach families and individuals who have the desire to bring Jesus to every table in society, healing the marketplace and beyond through community and collaboration.
It is awe-inspiring to witness what God has accomplished, and we eagerly anticipate what He has in store for the coming quarters. God is bringing together Marketplace Missionaries and Kingdom Companies to invest more than ever in the Kingdom of God. We firmly believe that there is more to come – more Market Missionaries to be raised up, more spheres to be reached, and more opportunities to represent Christ around the world!
Before We Part Ways...
Our aim is not just to share what God has done, but also to impart our insights to those who wish to further their missional calling within the business world. This month, we're focusing on some foundational principles that encapsulate the vision and philosophy of marketmissions®.
Please remember, our communication is not a one-way street. We're eager to share, but we're equally keen to learn from your experiences and insights. So, as we delve into these principles, we invite you to engage with us, share your thoughts, and contribute to this enriching dialogue. Together, we can deepen our understanding of the divine purpose for work and business, and explore new ways to live out this purpose in our professional lives.

Unveiling the Divine Intent for Work and Business:
A Fresh Perspective on MarketMissions® Philosophy
In the expansive realm of commerce, there exists a profound perspective that can redefine our comprehension of work and business. This perspective is the divine purpose for work and business, deeply embedded in the MarketMissions® philosophy. By delving into this concept, we can discover a new dimension of purpose and significance in our professional lives.
Work is not just a means to an end. It's not solely about earning a living or ascending the corporate hierarchy. Instead, work is a divine vocation, an essential part of the grand blueprint of life. It's a platform for personal development, societal contribution, and spiritual growth.
From the outset, work was conceived as a form of worship, a way to partake in and contribute to God's creation. This perspective transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary, infusing our daily tasks with a sense of purpose and importance.

Business, too, is not just about profit and loss. It's a divine institution, a tool for managing resources, serving communities, and creating opportunities. Business is a platform for expressing creativity, solving problems, and making a positive impact in the world.
In the MarketMissions® philosophy, business is perceived as a mission, a way to serve God and humanity. It's about creating value, nurturing relationships, and promoting justice and righteousness in the marketplace.

The amalgamation of faith and business is not a novel concept. However, the MarketMissions® philosophy introduces a fresh perspective to this confluence, emphasizing the divine purpose underlying our professional pursuits.
In this view, business is not separate from faith, but an extension of it. It's a way to manifest our beliefs, values, and convictions in the marketplace. It's about aligning our professional pursuits with our spiritual purpose, creating a seamless integration of faith and work.

In God's grand scheme, business plays a pivotal role. It's a vehicle for economic development, social transformation, and spiritual growth. It's a way to serve others, manage resources, and spread the gospel.
Business is not just about making money, but making a difference. It's about creating wealth that benefits all stakeholders - employees, customers, communities, and the environment. It's about building businesses that reflect God's character and advance His kingdom.
