Business As Mission! BAM! Under the JMC’s umbrella of Economic Wisdom/EW is the belief that every aspect of life, including business, is a ministry. Rooted in the conviction that Faith transforms everything we do, the JMC strives to bring dignity and purpose to all work, empowering business owners to see their work/ministry/mission as an extension of the Missio Dei/Mission of God. Whether you’re a plumber, mechanic, landscaper, doctor, or in any profession, your vocation is a ministry that serves a higher purpose. Business is not just about commerce; it’s about making an impact.
BAM! advocates for democratizing “ministry,” where the term is not confined to ecclesial exclusivity. Instead, ministry happens everywhere, through every transaction, relationship, and service. The role of the faith leader is to equip believers, teaching that their work is ministry, regardless of the field. The JMC aims to encourage, equip, and empower business owners to embrace their “Calling.” Each enterprise is a ministry and BAM! wants to reinforce the integration of Faith and Work, ensuring entrepreneurs, non-profit leaders, and business owners sharpen their craft; and reinforce this mindset, ensuring an understanding of the significance of their work and how it contributes to the common good.
