"When you do the common things in life in an uncommon way, you will command the attention of the world." George Washington Carver

What is Social Entrepreneurship?

Statement of Faith
You can find other "Market with Meaning" but you definitely want to see "Profit with Purpose".
I personally "Believe in Kingdom Transformation" because I know there is only ONE "Life for Significant".

Happy New Year! Many blessings on you and your family in this new year. God is doing an incredible work at RCE and has been reminding us that his mercies are indeed new every morning! We have already been overwhelmed by his faithfulness many times over and are excited to share that with you here. Stay in touch with us daily via Facebook and Twitter. Call to Action: Become a Volunteer Consultant The Regent Center for Entrepreneurship is launching a BRAND NEW VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY. We are looking for 50 professionals to form our charter group of Volunteer Consultants!  These are men and women with business experience who are willing to spend one-two hours a week mentoring an African entrepreneur remotely. Your meaningful involvement could change the world. It takes just moments to get started today! Graduates from the Rwanda Business Development Center are begging for mentors. John Crosby, an American statesman, said, "Mentoring is a brain to pick, an ear to listen, and a push in the right direction." Don't waste this opportunity! We will match you with a mentee who could benefit from your unique wisdom and life experience. You can be a part of the Rwandan miracle. You can help give hope and fan the flames of change. Click here to apply to become a Volunteer Consultant.  Not the consultant type? That's okay! Share this incredible opportunity with your friends and family by forwarding this newsletter or sending them to our website. Don't forget to share it on social media! Largest Cohort Yet Begins in Rwanda Cohort 4 is our largest yet with 51 dynamite learners! What an incredible blessing to have an overflowing classroom.  The class meets in a board room used by others during the day, so the room has to be rearranged every day before class starts. We have to add 15 chairs just to accomodate all of our learners. Our Open House after just one week was standing room only! The first few days’ discussions were amazing.  When Dr. Mulford asked the class what they believed the purpose of business was, virtually everyone gave some version of the economics textbook answer - an organization whose goal is to maximize profits.  He gave them his "Business from the Heart" presentation, which is a neutral version of business guided by Holy Spirit, and the discussion was incredible!  The next night many testified that their thinking had been totally changed.  Dr. Mulford said he had never seen that many people make a 180-degree change in their thinking in one day.  They are excited to continue to learn how to their faith in business to change the world. We have some fantastic students in this cohort, including the former Vice-Mayor of Kigali. Momentum for the program is growing! Additionally, we have a number of bids in to offer training to some of the most prominent Rwandan companies. These opportunities came from the incredibly successful Leadership & Customer Care Seminar that we held in October. God's plans for the Rwanda BDC in 2012 might be bigger than we imagined! See for Yourself Incredible new videos of RCE's work in Rwanda are available online, thanks to our friends at the Winshape Foundation. In October, two Chick-Fil-A operators went to Rwanda to share their wisdom and experience with our entrepreneurs and to lead a 2-day seminar on Leadership and Customer Care. God was present! These videos are an absolute must-see! RWANDA MASTER-vimeo from Dave LaMar on Vimeo. Student Research Group Launches This Week RCE is starting a new student-led research club called Kingdom Research Fellows. The club is will conduct research related to kingdom business and have a ton of fun while doing so. The Fellows will be publishing valuable research on the RCE website (and beyond) so keep your eyes peeled! The group already has over 15 Master's and Doctoral level students. God is doing incredible work to advance the kingdom business movement, and now students have the opportunity to be involved! Have an interesting topic, idea, or experience? Share it with the Fellows! They will be doing interviews, case studies, and other first-hand research on kingdom business. RCE covets prayers for the following areas: Volunteer Consultants: We know that God has an incredible plan for this new program, but there are a number of hurdles that need to be overcome. Pray that God would choose the right mentors and oversee the matching process. Continued Travel Mercies: With increased opportunities in Rwanda and around the world comes increased travel. Brittany is headed to Colombia next month to teach a seminar on integrating faith and entrepreneurship. We have facilitators flying in to be trained to open new BDCs. Pray that God will be in all the moving pieces. Students: Dr. Mulford is teaching a course at Regent this semester on International Holistic Development which culminates with a trip to Rwanda. Pray for the students as they are beginning to develop projects to accomplish in Rwanda.
