Business as Mission

What does BAM do?

Advocate

In every BAM seminar and workshop, we actively seek to tear down the unbiblical sacred-and-secular divide. We advocate that the business we run are our altar of worship, our living sacrifice unto the Lord.

Covenant EFC advocates that a BAM business is one which aligns its Profit motive to God’s Purpose of redemption (), as well as to love and serve People () and to take care of God’s created Planet (). BAM is a 4Ps business.

Mobilise

Covenant BAM casts visions through seminars and workshops to mobilise pastors, church and business leaders to train, equip and empower their church business community for works of service and in fulfilling the Great Commission.

“So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to equip His people for works of service … ” 

Advise

We give advice on business viability including business plans, financials, cash flows, operational efficiency, corporate structure and governance, among others, to foster God-glorifying sustainability and excellence.

Invest

In poor countries and communities, we invest in sustainable business to create jobs and wealth. By assuming financial risks, and through advocacy and mobilisation, we demonstrate our Father’s love paving the way for the Gospel and the Great Commission (). BAM seeks to restore the dignity of work and provide long-term livelihood.

Mentor

When business fails, discipleship and mentoring become critical. Covenant BAM journeys with those business owners going through setbacks and business challenges and failures. We also come alongside those who desire to integrate missions into their business in fulfilling God’s calling.

Why do we do BAM?

To help build a missional business community, making Jesus known in the marketplace. It rediscovers the sacred missions entrusted to the businesspeople, long lost in the singular pursuit of money as the sole reason for business. God has a much bigger plan than mere profits; it is for the glory of His name and for the salvation of mankind. The marketplace is where the lost are found and awaits rescue from eternal condemnation. The love of Christ compels the Christian business community to be the bearers of Good News, and to be the salt and light in the dark world of business in the marketplace.

We believe that God is choosing to redeem business and use it in a significant way for the future of missions.
