We believe that one of the most authentic, incarnate methods of bringing Christ into the global context is to work and sweat together in the marketplace. RBG focuses it’s efforts on creative poverty alleviation, equipping and empowering international entrepreneurs, and building employment opportunities overseas based on biblical principles.<\/span><\/p>\n

Many of the places\u00a0<\/span>Rosedale International (RI)<\/span><\/a> and RBG work are difficult to access using traditional missions methods but are open to investors and entrepreneurs. Businesses open up avenues for building relationships and create platforms to help transform communities.
