How would you get started as a Faith Driven Investor if God called you to invest hundreds of thousands, or even tens of thousands of dollars, in Kingdom-building ventures? How would you separate the many seeking capital from the few in which you would want to invest? It’s impossible to make these investment decisions alone. It’s even more challenging when the considerations are not just along the lines of financial return, but also under the weight of making a spiritual and social impact. 

Effective deployment of capital is done best alongside others with complementary skills and experiences. Contemporaries. Mentors. Trusted allies. These are the people God calls us to partner with in order to make a real difference. Not in a purely transactional way, but by investing in meaningful relationships that help draw out the very best of us and each decision we make.

Who are you connecting with in your community? In your peer group? As mentors and friends. Are you participating in a Faith Driven Investor Group? Your best chance for success is dependent on your ability to collaborate with other people. Finding those who share the same passion, think the same way about faith-driven investing, and share similar goals is critical to success that goes beyond the bottom line.
