Examples of BAM Projects/Companies  Examples of BAM projects/companies – (Some of the examples listed are wonderful works for God in regions of the world where Christians are still being persecuted. In those examples, I will not use the organizations' actual names or the precise locations in order to protect those workers.)
Place 1 – country in the Mideast that has been in war for many decades
Business – Human resources consulting services
Description – Within the cities of this war-torn country, young men are striving to learn how they might become successful in business and somehow rise above the rubble of the war to create opportunities for themselves, their families, and the communities.
This BAM is exciting, as it is providing these potential business leaders with skills that they have had no previous opportunity to learn. Within this context, (teaching business and business values), exist opportunities to share the power of Christ.
Place 2 – Grapevine, TX
Business – GRACE
Description –This non-profit enterprise was established to assist the needy in Grapevine and surrounding communities. Services they provide include food pantries, apartments for families needing shelter, a medical clinic, and much more. Revenue is generated from a combination of donations and business, including a storefront business that sells “like new” clothing and merchandise at very reduced pricing. This provides affordable clothing to families in need, and generates revenue for the other services.
Next time we will look at more examples.
We are traveling to Guatemala this week, so the next posting is planned for Thursday, November 5, 2009.
