Your work is a manifestation of God’s love for the world!

In God’s kingdom our work becomes a manifestation of his love for the world.
— Skye Jethani

I was inspired by this recent quote from my friend Skye Jethani. If you don’t read his devotionals, they are fantastic. This one is linked here. They are not free but very affordable!

I firmly believe this and it’s why Asian Access has jumped into the business space to help develop marketplace leaders.

I’m convinced the work of people like me, pastors, is to “equip the saints for works of service” (Eph. 4:12) Then, as all of us serve Christ in our lives and professions, we become this manifestation of God’s love in the world. (2 Cor. 3:2-5) It’s inspiring to see what God is doing in this space. Just listen to one of our partner organizations, ChinaSource’s podcast on Serving Marketplace Leaders in China. Asian Access had several voices participating in the research for that study.

A few years ago we launched our work in Korea and the first group finishes up this November. I’m glad that I’ll get to be there with them. They inspire me!

The second group comes from India and they get started in December. Skye Jethani will be joining another friend of mine, Daniel Fong the founder of Million Dollar Baby. They’ll be sharing how everything we are and everything we do is tied to our relationship with God.

Next summer this group will get to hear from Mike Duke, former CEO of Walmart, and Edwin Keh, professor at the Wharton School at Univ. of Pennsylvania. Edwin also serves as the CEO of The Hong Kong Research Institute of Textile and Apparel. Mike and Edwin will be sharing about discipleship in the midst of business.

These are encouraging times despite all the news we may hear out there. More and more I learn of leaders like these who want to learn how to live deeply in Christ and from his influence in their lives, they seek to serve the world around them!

As Peter Zhao told me a few years ago: “This is exactly what Asia needs today: an Asian Access for marketplace leaders!”

Joe, this is exactly what [Asia] needs today: an Asian Access for marketplace leaders!

— Dr. Peter Zhao Renowned Chinese economist
