I read this article (by Peter Wagner) before listening to Carlo Annacondia in person at the Emmanuel Centre in Westminster London on 8th August 2014.  I found it extremely interesting, especially the part about Argentina appointing a warlock as Social Welfare minister and then erecting a monument to witchcraft!  I hope you enjoy it.

One of the most successful models of urban evangelism that I have recently been in contact with is taking place in Argentina. Throughout the history of Protestant missions to Latin America, Argentina has been one of the more resistant nations. With the exception of the Tommy Hicks crusade and its aftermath in the early 1950s, the evangelical movement in Argentina has been pretty lackadaisical.

Firstly, why should I even consider entertaining God and business in the same sentence? Secondly, I am perfectly capable of taking care of business by myself. And lastly, if you think I’m even going to believe some mumbo-jumbo about evil spirits and demon possession, you’ve got to be kidding – I’ll leave that for my kids and Halloween!

Does this sound about right? Well, I’m not surprised, especially when Christians talk about faith and work together, they’re invariably referring to what happens in the workplace with people rather than the business itself or indeed what can happen to the business owners.

As a business owner and a Christian I often feel torn between thinking that I have to do everything in my own strength to change what's going on in the world or to shout out from the rooftops that we've got to pray out loud, even to pick up a Bible and go to another country and almost scream at people so that they understand what it means to be a Christian and why it is so important to stop blanking Jesus thinking they've got it all sussed!

With the recent report by the BBC about the Mexicans worshipping Sante Muete (Saint Death), it seems that Satan is starting to make the news, finally! To read the full story on the BBC Web Site, click here.

It's not that Satan has just been exposed, as he is mentioned in the first few chapters of the Bible and periodically throughout the whole of the Bible right to the last section called Revelation. But his presence or activity should not be considered a problem as it can be dealt with very easily.

You've chosen to dismiss Christianity in the workplace and ignore God's will for your business. So, how's that working out for you?

Christian business people are under increasing pressure from external forces to ignore, dismissed even criminalise the Christian faith in business.
