Shalom: Bringing Christ’s Peace to Business
Faith Facts
- Shalom offers a Biblical standard for business, calling for right and joyous relationships with God, self, others, and creation.
- Christian entrepreneurs in Liberia are demonstrating that business can be a force for restoration, hope, and real gospel-driven impact.
- Justice, service, and fruitful work are integrated into the vision of shalom, as seen in Isaiah 25:6 and Christian reflection.
Shalom reflects God’s desire for peace and fullness in every area of life, including business. It goes beyond mere absence of conflict, calling believers to serve and uplift others while honoring Christ in the marketplace.
“Glory to God in the highest, and peace on earth to people who enjoy his favor!” (Luke 2:14)
The Biblical vision of shalom includes justice, community service, and fulfilling work as acts of worship. Faithful business owners can help reveal God’s kingdom by fostering these values through their daily operations.
Christian business leaders in Liberia exemplify shalom by employing the jobless, supporting families, and empowering youth. Their efforts show how enterprise can be redemptive and a blessing to the most vulnerable.
One local cooperative sparked economic revival in a community left fractured by war, while another entrepreneur provided resources and new opportunities for young people.
As a rural clinic owner in Liberia shares, “this is all about being able to serve the people in my community, it brings me joy every day.”
We are called to be agents of shalom in our workplaces and communities, reflecting Christ’s love and justice. Let God’s vision guide your business to honor Him and bless others in powerful, practical ways.

- At least one Christian was killed every 86 minutes in Nigeria from January through early September.
- Most victims lived in regions that receive little attention from Nigerian or U.S. security planners.
- The data comes from a U.S.-based aid agency tracking ongoing violence against believers.
Christians in Nigeria continue to face relentless violence that shows little sign of slowing. A new report from a U.S.-based aid agency documents the grim pace of persecution, with at least one believer killed every 86 minutes between January 1 and September 8. The numbers paint a stark picture of targeted attacks that have claimed the lives of faithful men and women across the nation.
Many of the killings occurred in areas that rarely receive priority attention from either Nigerian officials or American security planners. This lack of focus leaves communities vulnerable and allows violence to continue unchecked. The report underscores how strategic neglect can have deadly consequences for those simply trying to live out their faith.
The findings serve as a sobering reminder that Christians remain among the most persecuted religious groups worldwide. In Nigeria, the pattern of violence often targets believers in rural and semi-rural regions where government presence is thin and security forces are stretched thin. Families are left to mourn loved ones while the international community struggles to respond effectively.
