Business for the Mission

Business for the Mission II

Business with a mission...

Every time I celebrate mass I would introduce myself as a missionary from Africa, working in Congo since my Ordination in 2008. But I am for the meantime back in the country to pursue graduate studies in Business, and currently enrolled in the MBA program De La Salle University. Oftentimes, I would see surprised faces among the community, as if asking me, why are you doing that Father?

Whenever, I see it fit, I would say “By learning efficiency in business management, I hope to introduce the same (efficiency) on how we in the Church use and manage our material and financial resources.”

Businesses remain competitive and enjoy growth for so many reasons, but one of which is the efficient use of its limited resources to maximize or achieve optimal profits. Efficient companies are intolerant of waste, besides, if seen, they are opportunities for profits. In this regard, we in the Church must admit the need to learn. Efficient use of our many resources and capacity to transform them into opportunities for further use are needed.
