Business can  enslave or liberate. We believe that through business we can make a difference--change lives, improve health and spread the  wealth. People should  be treated in the manner  God intended with justice, a fair wage and a safe working environment. You  can  be a  part of  changing  the  way  the  world does business.

It was in 1999 that Grand Rapids based EC Institute saw the need to mobilize the current and next generation of Christians in global business.  The EC Institute's vision is to see business professionals  ministering, encouraging, and empowering one another to use their business to glorify God, both locally and globally.

  A synergy occurs As Christians ask
    questions about globalization :
----------------------------------------------------------------

• Encouragement from others to show God's love in practical and dynamic ways in cross-cultural business settings.
• Mentoring of Christian business operations in the initial stages of entering global decision-making.
• Fellowship with like-minded believers who experience the same pressures, temptations and struggles.
• Knowledge of how God is moving in your region and how your business operation can join Him.
• Overseas sourcing and consulting from fellow businesses around the globe - making your business better while also supporting your brothers and sisters in Christ.
