Yesterday, I heard about a businessman who’s been searching for a way to unify his work life and his faith walk. He’s been asking for friends to pray for the ability to expand his sprinkler business by two positions this spring.

At Belay Enterprises, we have a goal of incubating businesses to create 750 jobs in five years for people rebuilding lives from addiction, homelessness, or prison in the Denver area.
But this goal would be much too low, if Christ-following business owners start realizing the impact they can make by hiring and investing in an ex-offender.
