Business As Mission Training

What Business As Mission Training does

Business As Mission Training (legally BAM Training Ltd., head office in the United Kingdom) is a private training and consulting organization established in 2008 that operates within the global Business as Mission movement — a niche within Christian missions that frames commercial enterprise as a vehicle for spiritual, social, environmental, and economic impact. The company develops and delivers in-person training programs, consulting engagements, talent-matching services, conferences, and assessment tools for individuals and organizations seeking to integrate faith and commerce, with a primary customer segment of business professionals and secondary segments including church leaders, BAM practitioners, mission organizations, academics, and investors.

Its portfolio is organized around five pillars: Training (BAM Conference, BAM Course, Internships, Custom Training Programs, and the Business Discipleship Training School DTS), Consulting (advisory engagements led by practitioner-experts), Tools (distribution of third-party assessments including The Birkman Method and Brand Arrow), and Talent (a directory and matching service via BAM Companies and BAM Professional). The organization does not operate a proprietary technology platform; distribution relies on physical training locations across multiple continents (Chiang Mai, UK, Amsterdam, Colorado Springs, Almaty, Bucharest) and recurring annual conferences held in rotating USA and European cities.

Revenue is generated primarily through professional services fees across training, consulting, talent placement, and conference attendance, with assessment tools contributing a secondary recurring stream. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market is community-led and event-driven, anchored by partnerships with BAM Global, Impact Foundation, Just Business, ThirdPath, ORU Stovall Center, and others, and by a content presence through website, blog, email newsletter, and social channels.
