OUR VISION
to proclaim the kingdom of God
in the World of Work.
OUR MISSION
to establish, in partnership with other role players, a value system in the marketplace, which is built on justice, trust, trustworthiness, honesty and fairness; to assist employers and employees to live their faith truthfully in their workplaces.
CLEARING UP MISCONCEPTION
People often think that this ministry is intended for workers (unskilled labourers) only.
The fact of the matter is that Employers and Managers are also part of the working force in the marketplace. We would therefore like to invite them to become part of our outreach.
