Legitimate Business Can Gain Access 
Entrepreneurs with capital and infrastructure to get started can venture into any mission field. Access is likely possible.
For-profit businesses have a way of finding and gaining confidence within communities. People's thinking doesn't have to stretch very far to see benefits to jobs and economic activity. Products and services that benefit people are easily embraced, too. This all contributes to paving a path for the gospel.
There has been some bad mission history that we need to be aware of. Some have gone before, feigning business as a poorly concealed disguise for evangelism. We must not lose focus of this painful lesson from history. The business must be legitimate and a positive contributor to the communities. If not, it will be seen as a ruse and do more harm than good for the gospel mission.
The simple process of creating jobs, allowing individuals and families to achieve real increases in quality of life and sufficiency, are some of the most basic, yet real, outcome of authentic business creation.
The transformational benefit and impact of real jobs in the community can cascade from there. Families have more resources to acquire products and services to meet their needs, stimulating other businesses in the community. Increase resources can begin to flow through the community and increase an economic vitality that touches many lives.
This combines with the success of valuable products and services entering the local economies. And this is not limited to the local communities. Products and services can flow to other communities, stimulating increased economic dynamics and vitality to growing spheres of people.
Blessings and thanks for your interest,
