Church and Business

If God was an entrepreneur, my golly! He would have made millions-no, make it billions, even trillions!

He is the Champ!

Last week, I went with my parents to the Redemptorist Church in Baclaran, or more famously known as Baclaran Church. Every Wednesday, hundreds of people crowd the church praying for good things to come to their lives.

Sometimes, I think,the church is a good place to learn business.

If God has been selling faith, boy! Did He capture all the segments of all markets.

Let’s see, at Baclaran, there are people about the age of a grandmother, and a grandfather.

There are groups of teen-agers mostly females.

A husband and a wife.

A single man and a woman.

A father, a mother.

A pregnant mom.

A doctor. A nursing student. A teacher. An engineer perhaps.

A sister, an aunt.

An uncle. A friend. A brother.

A student, a young professional.

Children- girls and boys.

There are those who went there with their cars and their SUVs. There are those who went there barefooted. Some were just wearing slippers and used it as kneeling pad as they pray their way to the altar. On the other hand, some rode public transport vehicles to make their prayers heard.

In short, everyone, from all walks of life, is there.

Everyone doing one common thing- praying.

Husband and wife could be praying for a long and lasting relationship or for the kids to finish schooling. From here, we can offer marriage enhancing seminars or for kids, school insurance for kids.

A single man and woman could be praying to find their partners in life.

From here, we can offer events like meeting people. Dating, etc. and what are other things that go with dating? Hmm.. fine dining place, flowers, chocolates. Author a book how to meet the right guy for you.

How about the babies and the infants? Let’s see, clothes, stroller, toys of course! milk, feeding bottles.

Lola and lolo can be offered health products, or leisure and recreational activities. It’s their time to prolong their life and enjoy life more.

And come to think of if, whatever age bracket, gender, or status in life, we are all praying for things that will make our lives worry-free and convenient.

And it is amazing, how we all have our faith. Faith, that we did not buy from a mall or from online shop.

But God loves us so much, He gave faith to us for free!

We keep using faith in our everyday lives.

And as what they say, when you believe in something, you know you can make it happen. And maybe, just like God believes in us and in the faith He taught us, that’s the reason why we keep on coming back to him and we will always be His loyal and regular customers.
