Floors of Faith-Work Integration in an Living Sent Enterprise

What does success look like for a Living Sent Enterprise? First and foremost, faith and work are integrated. At the foundation level, the first piece of concrete is poured because a personal decision is made to follow Christ and honor God. As one works their way through and up the floors of the business, internal faith-based initiatives occur, a public expression of faith happens and the company becomes a beacon of light to the community and world. The Living Sent Enterprise has a plan, a Ministry Action Plan, and the Company is honoring God with a value system that is unwavering and a bold vision. Employees are moving towards Christ spiritually.
