Sharing your faith through your business

One thing that is so great about working from home is that having my own biz allows me to share my faith as I please.

Working in a corporate office can really hinder witnessing opportunities. People have lost jobs because of what they said or did in this regard. :(

With my business, I can choose to share my faith in the way I choose. Not only that, but my biz allows me to meet people - both in person and online - that I would never have met otherwise.

I can pass out Gospel of John books, tracts, etc. I can invite people to church and church events. I can share my personal testimony.

Every biz can be as Christian as you are. :)

"But I don't have the money to start a home business"

I have talked to many wonderful ladies over the years who have said that they want to start a business to work from home, but they simply do not have the funds to do so.

I can understand that totally. After all, if you had tons of money lying around, you would not be looking to start a business, right?

If you really want to work from home, there are many ways you can do it.

  • Pray - this is the first thing to do. God will open up opportunities!
  • Be honest - If you want to start a home biz - but you cannot due to the funds needed - be honest. I have done a lot for people over the years who needed to get started but couldn't buy a kit or purchase a guide. I have worked out payment plans and sent free copies of things. I have even paid for kits. I have loaned/given money to friends so they could start a biz.
  • Be creative - if you need a few hundred dollars to start a business, look around your house and see if you can sell something. You would be surprised! I have had people hold a garage sale so they could raise a few hundred bucks! Use your head and pray - God will speak to you about it.
  • Be persistent - if you need money and cannot get it any other way, put a little bit aside each week until you have enough. Be consistent and persistent - and you will be fine.
  • Start small - I have known people who started a free biz so they could earn enough to invest in a more expensive biz. It won't happen overnight, but it will happen!
