Business-at-work movements have been popular at least since the 1857 businessmen's revival in New York City, in which noon-hour prayer meetings were so full of the city's professionals that many businesses closed during the gatherings. But churches have typically kept business people at a distance, needing their money but questioning their spiritual depth. With the business as mission movement, that has changed.

In 2004, the Lausanne Committee for World Evangelism, founded by Billy Graham, featured a track on business as mission. At a recent missionary conference in Hong Kong, Doug Seebeck (Mr. Seebeck is executive director of Partners Worldwide) says, "Business is the greatest hope for the world's poor." He sees business profits as consistent with God's purpose for humans. Profits, unlike activities that are donor dependent, are sustainable. Making a profit, he argues, is a better stewardship of God's resources than pleading for funds, spending them, and going back for more.
