Business as a Ministry -- Fact or Fiction
October 31, 2019
8:30 - 11:30 a.m.
Greer City Hall
As Jesus deployed His Disciples to share the Good News, He instructed them to take risks and yet be shrewd. Being shrewd today includes knowing how to legally share your faith in the workplace. In addition to providing relevant legal and legislative updates, the session will separate fact from fiction with issues including sharing the Gospel with employees, providing them with religious information and holding prayer meetings and Bible studies.
