“Use your business skills overseas.”
1. Business as mission: Go to a creative-access country and get a job based on your degree and experience. Then simply live out your faith.
2. Partner with a mission organization and help advance their recruiting/awareness efforts.
3. Move to a developing country, and help nationals develop business skills. You could partner with a business or entrepreneurial school started by missionaries and add needed expertise.
