Prepared to do business as ministry
Last night was the start of the inaugural online BizMin Course. It was great to be able to gather as a small group, despite the current Covid 19 lockdown. Over the coming months we will be offering the course online to Christian entrepreneurs from around the world. If you would like to find out more about joining a course email us via our website contact page.
It was a real privilege to be asked to lead this years Successful Business Life conference in Ljubljana, Slovenia. BizMin’s founder, Paul Bulkeley, and Terry Diggines, from A Call to Business, jointly led the day, teaching on business as ministry. It was a real joy to spend time with over 75 participants who had come together from all over Slovenia. There was a real hunger to learn more about kingdom business and it is clear to us that God is doing something significant amongst believers in the workplace in Slovenia. We are looking forward to collaborating again in the future.
We were also glad have the national TV channel come and film the event and record open and frank interviews with Paul and Terry. These are due to be shown three times on national TV in the coming weeks. We pray that this will stir real interest in Kingdom Business across the nation and for the glory of God.
Our thanks go to Petr Bohm and his church for all their efforts arranging the event and for their warm hospitality. Here are some lovely memories from the day.
We are delighted to be starting the BizMin Course this week. After nine months of hard work we are ready to run the pilot. This will provide us with valuable feedback and an opportunity to refine the content before the course is formally launched in early 2020.
We had another encouraging evening at the A Call to Business’ Entrepreneurs Evening in The City of London. We took a detailed look at what we call The Kingdom Entrepreneur, in Proverbs 31.10-31. It is always a huge encouragement to study what the Bible has to say about business with other Christians in business.

We had a wonderful trip to Uganda. A big thank you to our hosts, Wake Up Ministries, for their help in organising a well attended event. We delivered the one day Kingdom Business Course and plan to return in September to train facilitators. Our aim is that the local team will take ownership of the message and begin delivering BizMin training in their region.
We also visited some of the businesses, run by those who attended the course, and took the opportunity to pray with them. It was lovely to discover one gentlemen sat in the shade diligently reading the notes from our training.
