In the book Profit For the Lord, William Danker describes how the Moravian mission movement in the 1700s effectively used small business in their church planting activities in areas with no witness to Christ. This history reminds us that some of what Global Disciples is doing is not new. The early Moravians benefited, as we do, from the model of the Apostle Paul in using small business as a tool for mission.
The Moravian’s mission leader, Count Zinzendorf, used one primary criterion for their pattern of economic support for their missionaries: “Will it help or hinder the function of mission?” That same practical approach guides our work as Global Disciples today.
