For the first time in many years, BTJ is hosting a Business as Mission Conference in the United States and sharing insight into how to use business to support mission in ways other than just sending money.
In the last decade, business has emerged as the primary method for missionaries to gain access to closed nations between China and Jerusalem, leaving many Christians in the west wondering how they too can play a part.
With the launch of the “One Belt One Road” initiative in China, the Chinese government has been investing billions of dollars in the region between China and Jerusalem to launch thousands of different China-related businesses. This Chinese initiative has unwittingly opened the floodgates for Christians to gain access to closed nations such as North Korea, Iran, Somalia, and many more. There are currently thousands of missionaries from China ready to give their lives on the mission field and are eager to work in businesses that can provide a platform to closed nations, sustainable income without relying donations, and build local relationships.
Perhaps you are a business owner who would like to explore ways to complete the Great Commission and are curious to learn how to launch a sister office in the Middle East, register your product in Africa, or gain a supply chain in Asia.
Maybe you are an aspiring entrepreneur looking for ways to invest in both business and the kingdom or possibly you are a curious believer ready to explore the world of business on the mission field.
Whatever your reasons, if you are looking to get involved in business in a nation that is largely unreached with the Gospel, then this conference is for you.
At the conference, you will:
- Learn proven methods of starting businesses in closed nations from business owners in the Middle East, Asia, and Africa.
- Learn how the underground church is currently using business to share the Gospel in closed nations.
- Study past and present Chinese methods of building self-sustaining businesses on the mission field.
- Connect with suppliers and business owners already working in closed countries.
…and much, much more!
In addition, the BTJ Business as Mission Conference will share how you can get involved with current BTJ business opportunities available NOW in Asia, the Middle East, and Africa.
Join us on October 3-4, 2025 in Bentonville, AR.
There is no charge for this conference, but registration is mandatory. Seats are extremely limited.
