MCBA Networking Breakfast – Purpose-driven Business
Topic: The Purpose-driven Business Speaker, Quintin Frey, retired president of Turkey Hill Dairy A business owned by a Christian should be viewed as a beach head for good in the war between good and evil. Our businesses are small territories captured by God’s people on the front lines to express tangibly the Kingdom of God to people. The way in which we operate our businesses should contrast with the business practices of the world and reward owners and employees with the dignity intended by God when He created us to do good works. Our businesses can express in very practical ways God’s provision and love for people when we establish the purpose-driven business. Registration is $15.
Location: Messiah College, Martin Commons • One College Avenue, Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, 17055
7- 7:30 a.m. | Registration and networking
