Kingdom Business Case Studies
The Introduction, along with the first 5 case studies, are taken from the Business as Mission Issue
Group, Lausanne Forum 2004. Subsequent case studies may be submitted by email to
casestudies@KingdomBusinessAsMission.com.
The purpose of this page is to tell some business as mission stories. These cases will give the reader
an idea of what business as mission really looks like in practice.
The style and depth of application of the key business as mission principles will vary, sometimes
dramatically, from context to context. The particular methods and strategies used must be diverse and
creative depending on each business, its primary focus and context. These short stories show how
these principles can manifest themselves in different practices and priorities of Kingdom business.
They show how often the principles were learned by trial and error. They show that principles were
sometimes applied intentionally and in other cases unintentionally.
These stories are included to give the reader a taste of the different ‘flavours’ of business as mission
that we can learn from and be inspired by.
