Such companies intentionally create businesses in strategic locations, pursuing profits while remaining unabashedly Christian in their purpose. By establishing authentic businesses that employ local workers among the least-reached peoples of the world, they contribute to the economic health of the immediate community and also provide avenues for both physical and spiritual ministry. --from publisher description UR - https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&AN=607024 ER -
