Definition

Business for Missions

The practice of operating a business to establish the long-term identity and presence of a worker in a closed access country. Good sending organizations require that workers operate legitimate businesses that: 1. do what they say they do (no “fake” or “cover” businesses), 2. operate with integrity, 3. benefit the local community, and 4. establish a long-term identity and presence for the worker(s) in the community that permits them to translate scripture and plant a healthy church.
