About Us
Vision
To see Kingdom business playing its vital role in fulfilling the Great Commission
Our Mission
To empower indigenous believers and churches for the work of ministry (Eph. 4:12) by multiplying Kingdom businesses in poor and unreached communities.
Kingdom Impact
The purpose of all B4T businesses is to make an impact that is distinctive to the way Jesus’s kingdom is intended to be on earth.
Our Values
We Listen To
Jesus
It carries with it the idea that the Lord is the one we follow.
B4T is based on his leadership.
We consult him often and rely on Him utterly.
We Trust One
Another
In order to build trust we need to be ‘trustworthy’.
Trust is based on competence as well as doing the things we said we would do.
We Do Things
Well
Our work is our worship.
We want B4T.org to reflect the glory of God and his perfect work.
Our history
In 2010 the OM Leadership decided to launch a concerted effort to bring Business as Mission to its work around the world. It was decided that the ministry should be called Business 4 Transformation – B4T. In the OM network each country tends to operate somewhat autonomously within a strategic framework. B4T’s role is to introduce and grow transformational businesses in each country that is ready for it.
How We Operate
01
Developer
The Developer is an experienced business person who has a ‘nose’ for businesses that are likely to be successful. He or she is ready to commit to the long hard slog of working with Entrepreneurs to help their businesses grow, thrive and become sustainable.

02
Entrepreneur
We look actively for entrepreneurs who are believers and have a heart for God and people who already own and run small and medium sized businesses. We look for ‘job makers’ rather than ‘job seekers’ and so do not spend time on microfinance.
Well over 200 entrepreneurs in twelve countries have already become ‘B4T Businesses’.

03
Investor
God has granted financial resources to many believers. Some want their money to make a positive ongoing impact to grow the Kingdom – and to make it happen again and again. Investors go on investor trips and meet the Entrepreneurs face to face. They then make their decisions. The Developer follows up and helps to provide communication and accountability between the parties

Kingdom Impact
We challenge each entrepreneur to recognize that their business belongs to God and that He call them and uniquely gifts them to do business. To glorify God through following biblical principles in every area of life. B4T works towards a fourfold transformation:
Social: Ethical dealings with clients, suppliers, employees; hiring the disadvantaged; participating in community life
Environmental: Leading the way in sound resource management; developing products or methods that respect creation, reduce waste and improve efficiency
Economic: Through sound practices, generating wealth through hard work and excellence that provides increased gainful employment and the capacity to financially support the poor and other worthy causes
Spiritual: Business are run as worship to God and invest in the personal well-being of employees and their families. Local ministries are supported through profits.
