Every significant movement can point to a book, paper,
article or series of all of the above that communicates
in one clear voice the vision of a movement. God is at
Work by Ken Eldred defines and gives examples for
the movement of Business as Mission with clear cut
precision. Sharing from personal experience with two
companies and acclaimed success Ken forecasts a
movement of the Church and the Christian community
to Business as Mission with speed similar to that of
the response to the California gold rush.

The local church. It's impact is far reaching to the
uttermost corners of the world. It is a vehicle that has
stood the test of time. It has carried new ideas
throughout the Christian community and to the far
corners of the world. This reach gives pastors and
church leaders the responsibility and opportunity to
put the spotlight on a lot of different issues. In the
United States that resulting force is evident even to
congressmen and women who recognize the
influence the words of church leaders can have on the
outcome of an election.

Open your Fortune, Business 2.0, USA Today, or Wall
Street Journal these days and you are certain to find
some article pointing to the idea that businesses who
are socially conscious will be rewarded in the area of
profits and success. Look at environmental groups,
charities, or the Nobel Peace Prize process and you
find a hot button issue of social capitalism. Will that
have a negative or positive for the business as
mission movement?

You Tube. It's a cultural icon. Time magazine
names "You " it's person of the year because of the
growing advancements in technology and how
individuals are using technology to connect like never
before. Books can spark a movement. Videos can
make it spread even faster. We live in an age of viral
videos. Word spreads like wildfire because of images.
There's just something about the sights and the
sounds of the big screen that capture our attention
and communicate a message.
