"Raising Kingdom Human Capital: Empowering the Church to Impact the Marketplace" is a transformative guide that explores how the Church can actively contribute to the development of its members, preparing them not just for spiritual service but for significant influence in the marketplace. This book presents the concept of "Kingdom Human Capital" — the development of people within the Church who are skilled, empowered, and ready to make an impact both within their local communities and the broader economy.
Drawing from biblical principles, real-life case studies, and practical tools, the book emphasizes the Church’s vital role in raising individuals who are not only spiritually grounded but also intellectually equipped, emotionally mature, and practically capable. The goal is to help believers see that their work, whether in ministry or the marketplace, is sacred and that they are agents of change in every aspect of society.
The content of the book is structured to guide church leaders, pastors, and ministry teams in creating a culture that develops human capital in alignment with God’s Kingdom purposes. It includes a blend of spiritual development, leadership training, vocational education, financial literacy, and personal development—all centered on equipping believers to use their God-given talents and abilities for His glory.
Key themes include:
Kingdom Purpose: Understanding that every believer has a purpose, and their work in the marketplace is a direct extension of their spiritual calling.
Practical Development: Providing essential tools for success in the marketplace, including vocational training, entrepreneurship, and leadership skills.
Holistic Approach: Fostering emotional intelligence, resilience, and personal wellbeing, enabling individuals to thrive in both their spiritual and professional lives.
Impacting the Economy: Creating a ripple effect of change by empowering church members to become ethical leaders, responsible entrepreneurs, and agents of economic transformation.
This book is not just for church leaders but for every believer who desires to fulfill their potential, contribute to the Kingdom, and make a lasting difference in the world. It calls the Church to develop human capital in a way that impacts society at large, building a bridge between faith and work, and showing that the Kingdom of God is not just present in church buildings but is alive and active in every facet of life, including business and the marketplace.
