Vennture helps make work matter
Monday to Sunday

Do you find your work meaningful? Do you feel like you are able to use your God-given gifts to benefit others and promote flourishing in the world?

As a follower of Jesus, your work matters to God and has eternal Kingdom value. Work is a gift that provides an opportunity to participate in God’s redemptive work in communities and around the world.

Vennture works with churches to become vocationally formed gathering and sending communities that equip followers of Jesus for meaningful participation in God’s redemptive story through their work.

Vennture works with majority world entrepreneurs striving to lift their families towards a hope-filled future, that leads to human flourishing.

Vennture works whether you’re in a pew or a boardroom, a classroom or a clinic, a kitchen or a construction site. Your work matters!

HOW WE WORK

Vennture works in two core areas:

Formation
| LEARNING |

Through Vennture’s network of partners, we provide learning opportunities for people to be spiritually formed through a biblical theology of work & vocation.  Through teaching a biblical theology of work & vocation that seeks to close the sacred | secular divide, pastors and leaders are discovering the potential of followers of Jesus living a seamless life where faith meets work.

Creation
| BUILDING |

Throught Vennture’s network or partners, and in a spirit of mutuality, we work with groups to create transformational businesses.  In the same way, we work with redemptive entrepreneurs in the majority world who are lifting their families toward a hope-filled future that leads to flourishing by providing people with meaningful work that brings glorify to God.

Support
Majority World Entrepreneurs

Whether here in Canada or somewhere around the world, operating a small business is not easy and there are many challenges to overcome. In the Majority World, one challenge many aspiring entrepreneurs must overcome is a lack of access to financial capital to enable them to start or grow a business.

Supporting entrepreneurs to create redemptive and transformational businesses that alleviate poverty by creating lasting and meaningful jobs and have a positive community impact is one of Vennture’s primary goals.

With our partner, Flourish Financial, we are pleased to be able to provide greater access to equitable credit and loans to Majority World entrepreneurs.
