Event Description:

 

"And He said to them, 'Why did you seek Me?
Did you not know that I must be about My father’s business?'"  Luke 2:49

According to the US Department of labor nearly “80 percent of would-be entrepreneurs in the United States are between the ages of 18 and 34.”  A 2005 poll from Junior Achievement (JA) found that 68.6 percent of the teenagers interviewed wanted to become entrepreneurs, even though they knew that it would not be an easy path. In spite of this overwhelming interest, however, youth rarely receive any information about entrepreneurship as a career option.  In addition, they stated that “Entrepreneurship education offers a solution. It seeks to prepare people, particularly youth, to be responsible, enterprising individuals who become entrepreneurs or entrepreneurial thinkers by immersing them in real life learning experiences where they can take risks, manage the results, and learn from the outcomes.”

The Biblical Apprentice is a youth entrepreneurship program that prepares local teens, ages 11 –18, for real world business challenges by teaching them the value of teamwork, biblical ethics and taking an idea from conception to the development of a profit-making Kingdom Business – God’s way.  Some of the activities will include:

  • Instruction centering on Biblical Entrepreneurship – the process of taking an idea as a team from conception to developing into a profit making kingdom business
  • Business games that demonstrates the value of the free market and the positive impact of trade in society
  • Biblical application for their day-to-day lives regarding God’s commands for earning money, stewardship, leadership and healthy competition
  • Coaching and mentoring by executives and owners of local kingdom businesses
  • Participating in a Mini Business Plan Competition to earn cash prizes for each team –

        1st Prize $500           2nd Prize  $250          3rd Prize  $125
