MOBILIZING
ECONOMIC COMMUNITY BUILDERS -- 3 Days
Global Initiatives partners
with local Christian and Jewish communities in lands of proverty,
crisis and distress to train and mobilize entrepreneurial community
builders. Our program is not based on a Western business model,
but rather a combined entrepreneurial, spiritual and community
dynamic. Our basic entrepreneurial
startup program trains prospective and first-stage micro-
and small-business owners who are spiritually mature and who possess
some commercially-viable (i.e. electrician, seamstress, baker,
hairdresser, computer repair, etc.), or basic entrepreneurial
skills in this dynamic in order to serve, bless and build up their
communities. Call today to sponsor one of these meaningful
community-transforming efforts.

EQUIPPERS ENTREPRENEURIAL WORKSHOP

entrepreneurs and business owners

their congregation and community

- Harnessing the talents of business leaders to build bridges
between their businesses, congregations and the community.
Globally, economic foundations
have become increasingly unstable and subject to the ups and downs
of regional economic cycles. Yet, in the midst of change and reversals
and uncertainty, God has an economy. Spiritually-minded business
people need to understand the principles of God's economy and
recognize the calling of God for those gifted in business to serve
and to bring change .
Becoming a faith-based, purposeful
entrepreneur, business owner and executive involves a different
orientation from that of "standard business practices."
It involves a response that grasps and operating according to
the principles of God's economy. It is a response that grasps
the faith-based principles of how to operate an entrepreneurial
community — as outlined in the book of Deuteronomy, as God
mobilizes entrepreneurial community builders to make a more significant
impact than we ever dreamed. It is a response that incorporates
the shared Judeo-Christian principles such as dominion, reciprocity,
perseverance, responsibility, greatness, unity and miracles —
and how these apply to business and finances.

THE
SPIRITUAL DYNAMICS OF BUSINESS LEADERSHIP
The
calling and role of leaders who bring change to their communities
during times of uncertainty and distress involves spiritual dynamics
that have been, and are the foundation to God making His people
to be the head and not the tail in order to reset the default
button.
The
spiritual dynamics that Joseph employed to turn crisis into opportunity
are what undergird the two primary dimensions of our God's economy
program.
Our
basic entrepreneurial program targets potential and
first stage Christian entrepreneurs who start simple businesses.
At the heart of this training are the following keys. First, our
program is not based on a Western business model, but rather a
biblical one. Second, operating within God's economy involves
operating against the odds and is based on God's role as senior
partner. Next, we outline a business model based on a combined
spiritual, economic and community dynamic. Then, within the context
of “ a man's/woman's gift making room for them ,” we
identify and nurture combined gifts that brings great
release to those called and anointed as believing business people.
Our
leadership program has the aim of equipping existing,
successful Christian business owners with the tools to become
“opportunity enablers.” It develops a small-group nurturing system
based on the goal in 1 Peter 2:15: that “ by their good works,
they will put to silence the ignorance of foolish men. ”
It involves God's multiplication system; the exponential. It employs
an understanding of the “gift” of community designed by God and
then assuming the mantle of not only being blessed to be a blessing;
but in extending the impact of that mantle through positive influence
that believing business owners wield in the marketplace.
Our
program is not an “ethics” program; nor is it one of just imparting
inspiration and pumping people up. Most literature available on
“Christian business” gives focus to strong ethics, which we certainly
encourage. However, the thrust of our program is with the principles
needed to face the realities of doing business in
tough spiritual and business environments.
Our
basic entrepreneurial program is put on in a day. The
leadership program can be setup as either a follow-up to the basic
program; or it can stand alone. When it is a follow-up to the
basic program, it will involve another 3-4 hours. As a standalone
program, it can be done in one full day. Leaders should be defined
as being spiritual mature and having a level of business ownership
experience.
EXAMPLES
OF WORKSHOP TOPICS
The
practical, yet extremely potent topics in our program equip spiritually-minded
entrepreneurs to gain purposeful, financial freedom through their
combined gifts, biblical entrepreneurship, and service to the
community. Rather than a warmed-over Western business model sprinkled
with inspiration, this approach reflects the model outlined in
scripture, on how to operate a "godly entrepreneurial community."
It is practical and it works.

ANOINTING
YOUR GIFT
ENHANCING
YOUR GIFT WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT'S HELP
This
WORKSHOP GIVES FOCUS TO:
The
Proverb that says: 'A man's gift makes room for him.' Jill Garrett,
a former CEO of the Gallup organization in the UK once made an
amazing observation based on Gallup's development research: 'Every
person can do something better than 10,000 other people.' The
Apostle Paul said 'first the natural and then the spiritual.'
So, when we find THAT natural gift Ms. Garrett was referring to;
and combine it with our spiritual gift, the result will be entering
that purpose God created us for. Whether your gift is in business,
teaching, research, the professions, relational, arts, music or
writing – the Lord created us each uniquely to make a difference
in our spheres. So, regardless of where you are in the discovery
of YOUR GIFT, this workshop will serve to take you to a new level
– by unlocking and releasing your natural gift by combining it
with your spiritual one.

ENTREPRENEURSHIP:
THE
PATHWAY TO MOBILIZE YOUR GIFT
YOUR
GIFT, COMMUNITY BUILDING AND TRANSFORMATION
This
WORKSHOP WILL FEATURE:
Entrepreneurship
is the means to mobilize your gift and build community. In the
late 1800s, as a young man, George Washington Carver prayed that
the Lord would show him the secrets of the universe. The Lord
answered that prayer and said, "Little man, I'll show you
the secrets of the peanut and that will be enough." Against
all odds, as a man born into slavery just prior to the US civil
war, George Washington Carver went on to develop 325 products
and inventions tied to the peanut. His gift and calling birthed
an industry. Mr. Carver was an entrepreneur who heard from God.
By combining his natural and spiritual gifts with entrepreneurship,
he became an agent of societal transformation. That's the basis
of the anointing and the context for a life-calling. Using the
scriptural principles to become the head and not the tail, this
mini-workshop will take you through the steps to discovering and
unfolding your destiny through entrepreneurship; your unique gift;
and your calling as a community-builder.
