Do you have a heart for mission as a small business owner?

Are you looking for funding opportunities and examples of sustainable ministry?

Discover how small businesses can be key to sustainable ministry and reaching people with the Gospel with the help of Global Disciples Canada.

“God Has Not Called Us To Sit And Wait.”

Sempala is from Uganda. He leads a Global Disciples partner program that equips disciple-makers and church planters in small business training.

“God has not called us just to sit and wait,” Sempala said. “As God’s servants, we’re called to move out and get involved in business, while sharing the Good News and building relationships.”

In missional context, a small business can be a key to a sustainable ministry. In fact, we’ve seen this time and again with Global Disciples. A business gives a church planter a means of support. And the effects are transformative.

A person with a business can be viewed with less suspicion and connect more easily in the community.

A small thriving business provides an identity and a social hub in a community too.

Consequently, this is crucial in places with religious or social restriction or where there’s opposition to an evangelist or someone hoping to plant a church.

Creating A Business Plan

In Sempala’s training program, he trained 15 people to consider what God has placed in their hands that could be used for a business. And then he helped them create a business plan, develop a budget, understand the marketplace, and work through other key issues.

More importantly, they looked at how they can use their business to reach people with the Gospel by building relationships and opening up conversations about Jesus.

However, Sempala took a more direct approach with those he trained. He spent time developing their businesses, but he also engaged in focused outreach.

Consequently, he reported, “We went to two different locations—15 people gave their lives to Christ in one place. And 10 at second place, and a new fellowship was started. Our men and women are now sharing the Good News through their businesses. God is being glorified through the work of their hands.”

The Combination Of Mission And Small Business

This combination of outreach with business is having a broader impact too, Sempala said. “The community sees that God can use what you have in your hands. We’re not called to just sit and wait! We have the desire to see Uganda come to Jesus Christ, and this is what we can do.”

May God raise up more people like Sempala to equip others and share the Gospel in the isolated and least-reached areas of Uganda…and around the world.

Could you get partner with Global Disciples Canada and help people like Sempala in their ministry?

Global Disciples Canada is a Christian mission organization that trains local leaders living near least-reached communities to multiply disciples for Christ. One-third of our world hasn’t heard the Good News of Jesus. Yet. Global Disciples refers to these as “least-reached” people, and fewer than 10% of all missionaries work among these groups. We live in a time where many of these people are within reach of a local church. Through our simple and effective strategy of training and coaching, believers share the Gospel in their own nations and cultures. Jesus said, “Go and make disciples of all nations,” and we’re committed to doing just that. If you are looking for a Christian mission organization to partner with to become a better disciple and help make disciples, connect with us today!
