Such companies intentionally create businesses in strategic locations, pursuing profits while remaining unabashedly Christian in their purpose. By establishing authentic businesses that employ local workers among the least-reached peoples of the world, they contribute to the economic health of the immediate community and also provide avenues for both physical and spiritual ministry. --from publisher description  aDescription based on print version record. 0aBusiness enterprisesxReligious aspects. 0aMissionsxFinance. 7aRELIGION / Christian Ministry / Missions2bisacsh 4aElectronic books.1 aSteffen, Tom A.,d1947-08iPrint version:aRundle, Steve, 1959-tGreat commission companies.bRev. and exp. 2nd ed.dDowners Grove, Ill. : IVP Books, c2011z9780830838271w(DLC)  2010040596w(OCoLC)666573605403EBSCOhostuhttp://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=607024  aEBSCOhostbEBSCn607024  acpp1723AUTO  a02bN$T  c53519d53519
