BAM is not New 
Sometimes we think that reaching people for Christ through business or commerce is a brand new strategy. With a little reflection and study we see that it is not.
When we started this blog many months ago, we pointed out examples from Biblical times. Remember that Jesus' immediate team of disciples were all from business backgrounds, whether fishing businesses, government tax collection, tent making or more.
Here are a couple of quotes that bring it somewhat more into the modern frame of reference:
“The two pioneers of civilization-Christianity and commerce-should ever be inseparable.”
– Dr. David Livingstone, missionary to Africa, 1857.
“I believe one of the next great moves of God is going to be through the believers in the workplace”.
– Dr. Billy Graham
“God has begun an evangelism movement in the workplace that has the potential to transform our society as we know it”.
– Franklin Graham
“God is marshalling his people in the workplace as never before in history. God is up to something.
The next spiritual awakening could take place in the marketplace.”
– Henry Blackaby
“Workplace ministry will be one of the core future innovations in church ministry.”
– George Barna, Boiling Point, Regal Publishing
We will add more great thinking and quotations next time.
