“DEVELOPING ECONOMIC ENGINES THAT DRIVE MISSION-BASED MOVEMENTS”
Do you have a passion for business or a zeal for entrepreneurship? Do you feel like there is still more to life than 
business, no matter how much you get out of it? If so, there is a pretty good chance that you have a deeper calling on your life, one that can only be fulfilled through life purpose transformation. What is a Mission Based Entrepreneur? You might be one and not even know it. Is it possible that God gives passion and vision for a reason beyond ourselves?
Eric Bahme, the executive pastor for Eastside Foursquare Church in Portland, OR., examines how business can play a vital role in mission-based movements. He speaks beyond theory and shares the experiences that he and his Church endured leading up to, purchasing, and operating two hotels in Portland Oregon. A Church owning a hotel, what gives? Beyond operating a hotel Eric highlights how the decision has brought ministry staff in contact with over 33,000 people a year and has annual sales of over $2 million. Eric writes with much enthusiasm “Last year we reached tens of thousands of new people with out leaving our Church grounds!”. What gives is that over time Christian strategy changes, but the message that Jesus Christ loves you and is seeking reconciliation never does change.
Up to this point it may sound as if the book only speaks to what Eastside Foursquare Church has done. Not so, in great part Eric shares the qualities, challenges, and potential of MBE’s in the future, this is only the beginning. The book is written from the heart and when you finish the book you may realize a couple things. First of all you may realize that Mission Based Entrepreneurship isn’t about the entrepreneur, it’s about being faithful in what God calls you to. You may also walk away understanding that through Christ anything is possible and the Glory of two hotels owned and managed by a Church in Portland Oregon goes to God. You may even walk away with a renewed hope, passion, and desire to allow God to be the center of your life in everything that you do.
Through the development of economic engines (say like a hotel) it’s possible to take your mission to new heights. What are you passionate about? What mission is on your heart or what ministry do you feel called to? While the book isn’t going to give you all of the answers it’s going to give you a renewed hope. Read about how one leader and his congregation have spearheaded The MBE Revolution in Portland Oregon. Greater things really are yet to come.
