In August I gave a lecture on Business as Mission, BAM, at Samford University in Birmingham, Alabama USA. Enclosed below are the video link as well as a copy of the powerpoint used.
The presentation includes Biblical and historical perspectives on BAM, it introduces the global BAM Think Tank and also presents contemporary BAM case studies. Some issues dealt with:
- When did BAM start?
- Engineering with or without God – does it matter?
- Martin Luther and the rediscovery of BAM
- Chocolate for Jesus: Cadbury
- Johan Sebastian Bach and BAM
- The potential danger of micro businesses
- The Pyramid of Christ: stop climbing and tear it down!
- Earthquake tested the value and importance of a BAM business in S Asia
