Creating Homes That Minister

May 24, 2008

I just took my daughter Sannah Beth, 17, with me on a business trip to Chicago. We stayed in a very large house on an estate built to serve others as a small business conference complex.

What an experience!

The flights there and back were fun and relatively uneventful. But the time we spent with others from all over the country discussing business ideas and learning how to use state-of-the-art technology developed by two very young men was worth making the sacrifice to be there.

The house was very large, modern and open. In the center of the house, there once was an in-ground swimming pool. The owner had remodeled the house to fill it with a small auditorium full of 8-foot tables, chairs, printers, office supplies of all kinds and white boards on the wall for brain storming and presentations.

There were several areas throughout the house where small groups of people could gather to discuss their ideas and sketch their business plans.

Our host kept coffee brewing, the refrigerator stocked full of soft drinks and bottled water and all the guests felt very welcome to get something to drink from it any time they wanted.

It was like staying at a nice hotel with all the comforts of home plus all the business needs you could possibly need right at your fingertips.

When it was time to go to the airport, his assistant drove several of us in a late model Cadillac.

To me, that is a picture of business success.

That is one way we can use our homes to minister life in a business realm to others.

Not many people teach how to have a successful business these days. I personally think it’s because not many of us have experienced true financial business success.

One thing I truly believe is this: once we get the vision that we CAN work from home, and once we get the vision for WHAT we want to do and once we get the education to DO what we have been called to do and once we actually TAKE ACTION to set up systems to get the work done, then we will be back on the “ancient path.”

All of that can be done from home.

And home should be the center for social events, educational events, business events, and activities of all kinds.

I challenge you to make YOUR home a place of ministry for others.

So many books, so little time…
