Promotional Product Store Gives Profits to Church Planting

Erick Bauman started an online business for the purpose of supporting church planting. The purpose of mychurchpromos.com is to serve churches by providing customized promotional items. The organizers are themselves church planters who desire to be the church in the marketplace. All of the net profits from this business go to support church planting.

The Restoration Concept

Business leaders often feel that their talents, gifts and skills are overlooked by the church. Likewise pastors who lack real world experience often feel intimidated by strong business leaders. When pastors and professionals work together as missional leaders, awesome things can happen. Restoration Concept is a great example of being the church in the marketplace. RCI has helped several Christ followers to find an outlet for service in their spheres of influence.

What is your business about?

Have you ever been asked this question, "What is your business about?" Not what do you do, but what are you about? How you answer that question reveals much about why your business exists. Is it to make a profit, to sell a product, or to serve people? Does your business exist for you or for others? Is your ultimate goal to please and honor God? Do you exist to give yourself away? Is that last questions compatible with your (any one's) business model?

Many Christ-followers have gone into business with the desire to honor God and serve others by giving themselves away. That is what this blog is about. I hope you will join the conversation and let us know how you are living missionally through your work.
