Reaching the NEGLECTED through business by raising up self-sustainable disciple makers that ignite church planting movements
Many disciple makers have a passion to reach new people but feel discouraged. They cannot put food on the table and have no means to travel to other unreached people groups.
Business For Mission trains and coaches disciple makers to become self-sustainable and use business to start churches among the neglected people’s of the world.
be the solution to these problems
Most of the movements we know are not self-sustainable, we want to be the solution.
Problems
- Many disciple makers do not have the money to provide for their families, give to others and travel to unreached places
- Some areas are closed to the gospel
- There is a lack of knowledge and experience on how to handle money well (make, spend, save, give, invest)
- There is no capital available to start businesses, because banks don't give loans to these startups and Microfinance loans are too small
- In Africa and Asia there is a great dependency on Western money
solutions
- Training disciple makers how to start a Kingdom business that helps them make disciples among the neglected and provide an income for themselves
- Find out what products or services the community needs that they do not have access too and start a non-competitive business in that area
- Intense coaching on starting and growing the business while making disciples, growing character and managing money well
- Encourage people to find local funding first and starting up a local FaithFund
- Providing low interest loans from a locally set up FaithFund after the people have been trained and written a viable business plan
Meet oliver and rhoda
For years Oliver and Rhoda have been planting churches among the neglected. Many times they couldn’t pay school fees for their six kids and some days they couldn’t put food on the table.
They are passionate to plant more churches in new villages. Unfortunately they don’t have the money to travel to these new villages and less people will have the change of hearing about Jesus.
With your help, they started to farm rice and a taxi business. Through training them in Pioneer Business Planting, ongoing coaching and access to a FaithFund they can bring food on the table, give to others and travel to the unreached places to make disciples and plant churches.
How we work
We are making church planting movements self-sustainable through the following steps.
1 determine location
2 field consultation
In the 5 day interactive Pioneer Business Planting consultation participants will learn how to use business to reach the lost, to write a business plan and skills to start and manage their business.
3 BUSINESS PLAN
4 BUSINESS COACHING
5 funding
Once the business has proven to be viable, the next phase is raising the capital to start. We encourage people to find funds locally through a bank, micro-finance institutions, personal savings, loans from friends and family etc. We also set up local FaithFunds to start the businesses.

Called to do business
Growing up in an impoverished family in Kenya, Kefa was pulled into doing business at a young age. Before the age of 10 he started earning money, so he could provide himself with books, clothes and sometimes food. His first deal was with a man who wanted to start planting tea. As Kefa’s parents worked in a tea plantation, he could get seeds through them. He sold them to this man for 5 shillings; his first starting capital.
