What would it look like if every Christian business owner and professional in your city knew they weren’t standing alone? Imagine if business leaders, entrepreneurs, and professionals could gather in a single place—not just to network, but to pray together, encourage one another, and work side-by-side to see their city transformed through the love of Christ.

That’s the vision behind the Christians in Business City Directory Program. And today, I’d like to personally invite you to join us in launching one in your city.

What is a Christians in Business City Directory?

Think of it as more than a directory—it’s a digital hub, a modern “city gate” where Christian business owners and professionals gather. In Bible times, the city gate was the place where business happened, decisions were made, and community life was shaped. A Christians in Business City Directory brings that idea into today’s world, giving Christian business leaders a visible, accessible platform where they can:

• Connect with other like-minded believers in business.
  
  
• Support one another through referrals, prayer, and encouragement.
  
  
• Shine the light of Christ by showing their faith is not just personal but integrated into every part of life—including business.
  
  

We don’t just set you up with a City Directory. We set you up with a platform for ministry in the marketplace and pay you as a Marketplace Director .

Why Start a City Directory Where You Live?

Every city has people who are praying, “Lord, I want to make a difference where I work.” But too often, those people feel isolated. They don’t know where to start. They don’t know who else is out there.

That’s where you come in.

By launching a City Directory in your area, you become a connector—someone who helps unite Christian business owners and professionals under a common purpose.

Here are a few examples of what this could look like in your city:

• Example #1: A Christian coffee shop owner is struggling to get the word out about their business. Through the directory, other Christian professionals—like accountants, realtors, and insurance agents—discover them and become loyal customers. Now, instead of wondering if their business will survive, they have steady support from a community of believers.
  
  
• Example #2: A realtor wants to make her faith more visible but isn’t sure how. By being listed in the Christians in Business City Directory, she not only connects with Christian clients, but she also discovers other professionals—like mortgage brokers and contractors—who share her values. Together, they begin to create a network of faith-driven referrals.
  
  
• Example #3: A young entrepreneur feels called to start a business but lacks mentorship. Through the city directory, he connects with older Christian business leaders who share wisdom, offer prayer, and walk with him through the challenges of starting out.
  
  

When you help launch a city directory, stories like these become possible.

The Ripple Effect of Bringing Believers Together

Here’s the exciting part: when Christians in business come together, the impact goes far beyond professional success. It begins to transform the very culture of a city.

• Prayer becomes normal in business meetings. Instead of separating faith and work, business owners openly invite Christ into their decisions.
  
  
• Integrity becomes contagious. As Christians commit to doing business with honesty and excellence, the bar is raised for the entire community.
  
  
• Generosity flows outward. When business owners thrive, they are able to give more—to churches, to missions, to local causes. The city feels the blessing.
  
  

That’s why this is more than having a city directory. It’s about answering the call to marketplace ministry.

What Does It Take to Get Started?

Starting a Christians in Business City Directory doesn’t require you to be a marketing genius or a business expert. All it takes is a willing heart, a love for your city, and a desire to see Christian business owners thrive together.

When you join our team, we help you set up the directory and equip you with tools to invite others. From there, you’ll be amazed at how quickly momentum builds.

Here’s a simple way to picture it:

• You invite 10 Christian business owners to join.
  
  
• Each of them shares with 2 more.
  
  
• Within weeks, you have a growing hub of dozens of Christian professionals—all linked through your city directory.
  
  

The beauty of this model is that it’s relational. It’s about people helping people, faith supporting faith, and businesses becoming stronger because they’re not isolated anymore.

A Friendly Invitation

Let me pause and speak directly to you.

If you’ve been praying for a way to make an impact in your city… if you’ve been wondering how to bring believers together outside the walls of the church… if you’ve been searching for a way to integrate your faith and your professional life in a bigger way—this may be the answer.

We don’t need more Christians keeping their faith quiet in the marketplace. We need bold, loving leaders who will step up and say, “Yes, I’ll help bring God’s people together.”

And the good news? You don’t have to do it alone. We’re here to help you every step of the way.

Picture the Future

Picture a year from now. You walk into a local networking breakfast—only this isn’t just any networking event. The room is filled with Christian business owners who know each other, support each other, and pray for each other. The city directory you helped launch has become the backbone of this community.

Because of your “yes,”:

• A struggling business owner stayed open.
  
  
• A young professional found mentorship.
  
  
• A local church had more resources to reach the lost.
  
  
• And the name of Jesus became more visible in your city’s marketplace.
  
  
  

That’s the kind of future you can help build.

Your Next Step

If your heart is stirring as you read this, I encourage you: don’t wait. The longer you wait, the longer your city goes without the unity and support it desperately needs.

Becoming a Marketplace Director of the Christians in Business City Directory Program is simple. We’ll help set up your city’s directory, give you the tools you need to launch, and walk with you as you gather believers together.

This is your opportunity to use your influence, your faith, and your leadership to impact not just your business—but your entire city—for Christ.

Will you say yes?

Closing Encouragement

Friend, your city needs this. The Christian business owners and professionals around you are waiting for someone to step forward and connect them. And perhaps—just perhaps—that someone is you.

Together, let’s build more than businesses. Let’s build a movement of faith in the marketplace.
