Everything we do is designed to help you fulfil Jesus’ mission for you — making disciples.
Our three key focuses are:
What do we mean by these?
Understanding Impact
Because Jesus’ mission of making disciples is so important, it really matters that we achieve it strategically. A focus on impact and effectiveness is part of what it means to use the talents He’s given us wisely (Matt 25:14-30).
Since careers have so much potential for impact, we believe that how we choose, and use, them is crucial to us living fruitful lives.
Career Choice
Whilst we acknowledge that many are called otherwise, we believe that three career routes are particularly strategic for making disciples. We encourage you to prayerfully consider these:
- Gospel patronage: Those fueling gospel work by pursuing high earning careers and giving sacrificially.
- Ministry: Those preaching, discipling, and leading in paid ministry.
- Discipling culture: Those shaping culture and institutions to pave the way for the gospel.
Radical Generosity
In our quest for using our careers to make disciples, money is one of the biggest opportunities - and biggest dangers - facing each of us. It has potential to transform the world; it also has the potential to corrupt our hearts.
A radical and sacrificial generosity is the solution - and it’s something God calls us to now.
Adapted from John Wesley, we suggest that our attitude to money should be “get all you can, keep as little as you can, and give as effectively as you can”.
First be a faithful disciple
Lastly, even more important than how we make disciples, is how we are faithful disciples. This remains our first priority.
The key to impact is our relationship with Jesus. In his words: “if you abide in me, you will bear much fruit” (John 15:5)
Our story
Aged seventeen, I was confused. I was passionate about people meeting Jesus and I felt God had gifted me with the skills for business. Yet, I thought the real Christians, those who were all-in, had to become pastors.
Fortunately, I came to my senses. I went along to an event that completely flipped my perspective. It was full of business people talking about something called "gospel patronage", and they were all-in for Jesus. If they weren't pastors, maybe I wouldn't have to be either.
Soon after, my drone parts business was taking off, turning over £15k a month, and I was starting to hire people and hunt for a warehouse. But now things were different. I'd given half my profits to global mission. A team of Nepalese church planters were trekking the Himalayas, wading through rivers, going door to door to share the gospel. People were coming to Christ, and I was playing a part. I was so excited.
Fast forward to university. A group of us from the Christian Union met in a slightly grimy Cambridge cafe, sat on tired green chairs, and imagined something different. We imagined what would happen if hundreds of students, on fire for God, saw their careers as a fundamental way of making disciples. Each dedicating their careers to making the biggest impact for Jesus.
So we went all-in to grow a movement. One we pray God will use to bring revival, in this nation and beyond.
Take the All-in Challenge
Discuss together, how you can go all-in for Jesus with your career. Leave with clear next steps to make the biggest disciple-making impact.
Run the All-in Challenge as a weekend retreat or a small group course, or even with your mentor or as a book discussion group.
