"Care Channels International Ltd is a non-profit organization that seeks to help the poor through a holistic approach. Helping the poor is more than a matter of hand-outs.

Scope of talk

What is BAM? How is it different from tentmaking or traditional missions strategies?

Why is BAM such a special ministry opportunity for businessmen and professionals to fulfill the Great Commission? (e.g. they can utilize their special skills and experience to assist the poor locals, and missionaries in the field to earn a living, to assist the local churches to be financially independent etc.)
Care Channels’ work in China, Timor Leste, Indonesia, Pakistan and Philippines.
Specific examples of how the audience can participate right away. (Giving money is the obvious way. How about personal involvement? Any immediate projects?)
