Mobilizing the Marketplace
for Global Missions
The Great Commission belongs to all of us
THE PROBLEM
ERASING THE SACRED/SECULAR DIVIDE
SACRED vs. SECULAR
There is a common misconception in Christian circles that labels ministry work as sacred, and marketplace work as secular.
This is an instinct Christians have wrestled with since the early days of the Church. But this sacred versus secular thinking is just bad theology.
We need to break the cycle.
WE’RE HERE TO HELP.
THE STONE TABLE STORY

We also equip and encourage marketplace Christians to engage the Great Commission through books, seminars, online resources, and our business incubator program.
Funds created by our core businesses for investment in missions work all over the world.

The Stone Table generously funds efforts in the most hostile, difficult, and unreached places on earth. We are thankful for their partnership in the gospel. Together, we are glorifying Jesus, among the people that have scarcely heard his name.

The Stone Table has given me the opportunity to invest in projects around the world that I believe are very meaningful to God’s heart. I wouldn’t have these opportunities without The Stone Table.
