Business As Missions (BAM)

Business as Missions (BAM) is a powerful approach that positions marketplace believers to create meaningful impact in unreached communities. We have conducted long-term development work together with local partner organizations in targeted communities, equipping individuals with the knowledge and skills needed to overcome poverty. Through sustainable business platforms, BAM empowers people to climb out of the pit themselves, embodying the principle of “teaching them how to fish” rather than offering temporary relief. More than just economic development, BAM is a Kingdom strategy to bring hope, dignity, and the light of Christ to the marketplace and beyond.

Community Transformation

As marketplace believers, we are uniquely positioned to impact unreached people groups through sustainable business platforms that can bring long term impact and achieve lasting change.

We have conducted long-term development work together with local partner organizations in targeted communities. By providing people with knowledge and skills, we empower them to get out of poverty. But the poor have to climb out of the pit themselves. This is ”teaching them how to fish, rather than simply giving them the fish”.

Transforming lives one at a time

Dignity and Lasting Results

GBN creates lasting change coupled with the tenacious efforts of the poor. At the same time we witness people gaining a sense of self-respect and pride from what they are able to achieve. This is important to us. Because pride, dignity and self-respect cannot be given in the form of gifts or handouts – they come as fruits from the work invested by people in their own lives.

Local Partners

At GBN, we choose to work with local ministry partners at the regional level. This follows the 2 Timothy 2:2 principle: “what you have heard from me before many witnesses entrust to faithful men who will be able to teach others also”. But the most important thing is that the locals know the area’s culture, and they know where and what help is needed the most.

GBN’s community transformation efforts are now an integral part of the Partnership Program, where we also share our experiences in transforming local communities.
