Almost all people who are involved in BAM, directly or indirectly, joined us in celebrating God for His grace upon SfK Ministries. The program was held in three parts. The first part was the service.

Lausanne Consultation on Wealth Creation for Holistic Transformation took place in March 2017 in Chiang Mai, Thailand. It was a follow up consultation to the consultation on the prosperity gospel held previously. It was sponsored by the Lausanne Movement and BAM Global Think Tank since it is closely related to BAM.

On-line real time contributions were all productive and effective. Some groups were better prepared than others, but all came out feeling better than before. We all prayed...

(John 1:14)   Integrity is an essential component to true and practical Christianity. It represents perfect, harmonious and holistic unity, as pictured in the Trinity. Incarnation is another beautiful illustration of integrity, God becoming flesh and the Word becoming deeds. BAM should be founded and operated under this integrity.

Yet when it comes to the theme of missional business or business as mission (hereafter BAM), especially since it is increasingly acknowledged as a crucial approach to the Great Commission, I feel I can and should add my two cents' worth to it as a fellow Kingdom worker.
