We are sharing story about God’s people in the workplace. Do you have a story about God working through you in your work culture?
A few months ago we spoke to a great group of College age students and young professionals at Stammi Church in St Gallen Switerland. They eagerly engaged in talking with us about God and their professional life... and so much so that the church recently contacted us an asked us to come back in 2018 and Speak to the whole church about…
God gives us some practical responses to engage when facing tough situations… walking by faith means we implement how God has instructed us. Such initial responses can prevent us from becoming embittered and cynical in difficult situations.
Recently Paul was ask to conduct the 4 part training entitled “On the Job… God’s Way” for the entry Business students at Columbia International University (CIU) in SC. Afterward he was asked to conduct it yearly. Below are some of their comments…
Paul Curtas does an amazing job of helping students see how their relationship with Jesus and work intersect. He demolishes the sacred/secular divide and demonstrates how God can use believers in the work force to be a light. He shatters the idea that there is a hierarchy to vocations, explaining that we can honor the Lord in whatever we do. -Amy DuBois (Faculty- CIU Business School )
People in the secular marketplace will be closed off to my Christian values and lifestyle in the workplace. Hearing from Paul Curtas really opened my eyes to the potential influence I could have, even in a “secular” workplace, such as the airline industry. It was so helpful to have a real life example of someone who is teaching people how to love others well from a Biblical worldview, even though they are not involved in an “official ministry.” -Eryn Marburger
“I got this book given as a gift and I love it! I am a Christian who works in the aluminum business and want my workplace not just to be a place where I earn money but instead where I can shine the light of Christ. So I was utterly delighted to receive a book which addresses the issues related to work and how to bring God’s Kingdom into this when God indeed shows up at work. This book also challenges me to use the time wisely and intentional. Paul M. Curtas has not only written well, but engages with the reader. Very worthwhile!” (Evi Rodemann- CEO MissionNet)
Paul was invited to do a workshop at the Florida Association of Christian Colleges and School convention on the subject of "Preparing the Next Generation for the Workplace". It was well attended and there is growing awareness that student next to be prepared and training spiritually for what will be a major part of their life (37%)...the Workplace.
Sept 16: Had a fabulous day of training with 12 at LaGuardia Airport. Very attentive group eager to see God use them as His influence in their workplace.
