Business God's Way

Seminars in Armavir

By Andrey Perevalov

The REAP programme (Releasing Entrepreneurs with Apostolic Passion) is being developed by a team led by Scott Marques who leads the Newfrontiers churches in Zimbabwe.

The course includes:

• God’s glory in action
• Worshiping God with our finances
• Apostolic zeal
• Family and finances
• Discipline of managing
• What is business?

Following a forum in the UK in 2006, we were invited to pilot the programme in the Caucasus. Participants expected us to give them the secrets of running a successful business but we started with Biblical foundations and many got a real understanding of their part in God’s kingdom. God’s Word is our main source and we learned to evaluate our motives and look into our hearts. The first fruit is that two of the guys applied what they heard at the seminars and we see real changes in their business.

What did we learn?

• ‘God’s principles and the foundations of business’ Aleksey
• ‘I realised God’s calling on my life’  Anton
• ‘Some correction in my business and how to make a business plan’ Sergey
• ‘About God’s faithfulness’  Roman and Lena
• ‘Learnt to plan finances and to be a cheerful giver’ Artem
• ‘God changed my idea of running business’  Yuri
• ‘How to manage your business and run it well’ Christine

Scott will also be leading three seminars developing this subject and the REAP Training Programme at the Together on a Mission Conference in Brighton in July.
