Show Quotes:
“There’s a broad calling to the marketplace, where people feel called to integrate faith and steward influence. And then within that broad group God will raise some up to plant a micro-church within the marketplace context or elsewhere.” -Wayne Schmidt
“Influence for Christ is often not structured or not plan. It happens in already established relationships.” -Rochelle Jenkins
“I’m often asked if I plan on being a full-time pastor or a full time nurse. And I always say, ‘yes’. I don’t really see a division between being a nurse and being a pastor. That’s where I am a pastor.” -Rochelle Jenkins
“People in the marketplace probably have been invited to a church at some point. Too many have not realized they are needed for the mission. We don’t just want people to come to the church so someone is in the pew or is giving money. We need people for the task.” -David Drury

Show Quotes:
“The global church is flourishing, in some places much faster than North America. In many relationships we are keeping up with them.” -Wayne Schmidt
"My dad used to say, 'God's the only one who can see around the corner.' It's been so true in my journey." -Diane Foley
"We need Christians involved every sphere of our society to influence what is there." -Diane Foley
“The most unreached areas of the world are the hardest to send in traditional missionaries…the places that are least reached are the hardest to enter. But they allow business people. They allow those who are in medical work. What would it be like for us to come alongside those who are trained legitimately and ask, how can we help to equip you by giving you cultural connection, contextualization and some methods to help share Christ in that setting.” -Dennis Jackson
“I believe that the Lord knows exactly what he is doing and he is raising up the Marketplace Multipliers for such a time as this.” -Dennis Jackson

Show Quotes:
"Pete’s is a generous person but his Kingdom involvement goes beyond giving. His whole idea is, ‘let’s not think separately about marketplace and local Church ministry, let’s connect them." -Wayne Schmidt
“It doesn’t matter if it’s fishing or helping people with finances. We learned we are going to live lean, work really hard, pray a lot and surround ourselves with good people.” -Pete Benson
“People began to see that I’ve taken this relationship with Jesus to the marketplace, and I was still Pete. I’m just in a different arena now but I’m 100% on board for the Kingdom of God.” -Pete Benson
“Every person has their circle of influence. There’s probably 4-6 people at work that you resonate with and have grown close to…We actually spend more time with these people than with our family in a given week, so being intentional, being transparent, praying--if following Christ is who you are, it’s going to leak out.” -Pete Benson
“When people talk about vision, they often ask ‘what is the vision of our church.’ We’ve kind of reversed that and said, what is the vision God is giving you, and how can the church help you.” -Darren Whitehead
“I grew up in a tradition where ministry was pastoral ministry or missionaries. The vision for business people was to give to those ministries. But we have learned we are all in full time ministry. Every single one of our people is deployed on mission and this is a much more exponential approach to the role the Church should be playing.” -Darren Whitehead

Show Quotes:
"Ezra was a priest and Nehemiah worked for the government, but they accomplished something together they could not have accomplished alone." -Wayne Schmidt
"I knew so many rich and powerful people who were miserable. I thought, this can not be the answer and that really started a spiritual journey that caused me to accept Christ." -Paul Anthes
"To be honest, I wanted to be a successful business person first and a Christ-follower second. I didn’t know what God would do if I surrendered everything to him. That was scary for me. Over the years, I’ve learned that the order of that is absolutely essential." -Paul Anthes
"We have to get on with what Jesus called us to do. Jesus said ‘Go!’ You want to analyze it? You want to look at the Greek again? You want another commentary? At the end of the day, go means go. The issue for all of us is, what does ‘go’ look like." -Mick Veach
