B4T Blog
Greg M, Patrick Lai, and guest bloggers write about the joys, challenges, and rewards that come with taking the Gospel to the least reached through real business.
ARE YOU GENEROUS?
A generous man will prosper – Proverbs 11:25a He who refreshes others will himself be refreshed –Proverbs 11:25b. It is more blessed to give than to receive – Acts 20:35 These three biblical phrases are statements that contain an exhortation and a promise. I’m...
FISHING
Several people have asked me questions about doing EV in the workplace. My new book has a chapter on this and there will be at least two workshops on witnessing in the workplace at the OPEN Connect in August, but I wish to remind ourselves of several key issues that...
A REMINDER
How can we combine the holy and the ordinary in our everyday lives? This is a question I was recently confronted with. Balance, an integrated life that glorifies Jesus is what we are striving for whether we are working in our home country or doing B4T. During the...
YOU CAN TAKE IT WITH YOU
Have you heard, “You can't take it with you?” I am beginning to believe that’s wrong. Yes, you cannot take it with you if it's an idol, or you cling to it, or you lust after it, but if you are stewarding God’s things, God’s money, God’s stuff, yes you can take it...

HUMAN CLONING
Look around; look at people. I'm afraid that human cloning is alive in today's society – especially in religious communities. Consider Buddhist priests, Mormon missionaries, Muslim imams, JW’s, and even evangelical mission workers; each dresses like their peers, has...
ARE YOU AN ENTREPRENEUR?
I am asked this question frequently, “How do I know if I am an entrepreneur?” Estimates vary but on the average only 10% of all people are natural entrepreneurs. Many non-entrepreneurs have succeeded in starting B4T businesses but in most of the successful cases they...
DEMAND THE BEST OF YOURSELF
Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect. – Jesus In my 60 years unfortunately, I've met many a person who has never achieved their goals. Often these are goals they once said, God told me to do this. I’ve seen many workers move overseas with the...
JOB DESCRIPTIONS NOT NEEDED
More and more Christian leaders are discovering what was missing from the past decades of mission strategies and methodologies and they are restructuring missions in ways that overturns a 100 years of missiological thinking. The new paradigm gets every member to think...
