About Creating Jobs

Creating Jobs Inc partners with developing-world entrepreneurs who are growing their businesses, creating jobs, and serving their communities. Groups of these entrepreneurs in Haiti and Honduras receive quarterly 6-day visits from U.S. based Creating Jobs Inc mentors who provide business coaching towards revenue growth and job creation. These international mentors work alongside local mentors to help entrepreneurs tackle business challenges ranging from marketing to accounting, from customer service to employee engagement, from production to long-term planning – and everything in between. This individualized mentoring is reinforced by quarterly training conferences on similar topics. Both the training and mentoring is co-led by international and national business leaders, working towards community renewal in the context of long-term friendships. We believe in: Business as a Force for Good Capacity Building World-Class Curriculum Biblical Justice and Compassion Cross-Worldview Teamwork -- Business as Mission Business has both intrinsic and instrumental value in God’s purposes for the world. But because it can also be a tool for oppression, greed, and misuse of natural resources, its original good purposes are often overshadowed. These need to be uncovered and reclaimed. Even if it never advanced a church program, business would still be used of God to: provide means for families to support themselves provide humanity with needed goods and services provide meaningful work through which people emulate God’s creativity and productivity help people discover their vocational talents curb evil by occupying people’s time with activities that serve the greater good. Beyond these intrinsic uses for business, it plays vastly important instrumental roles as well. Have you ever stopped to realize that business is the source of the wealth which funds all the good done by non-profits, governments, and schools?
