Your Marketplace Ministry Doesn't End When You Sell Your Business

As a CBMC member, you've committed to living out your faith in the marketplace — connecting business and professional men to God through authentic relationships. Joshua Howard is a current CBMC member who shares that same calling. We help CBMC members transition their businesses in ways that extend their marketplace ministry, not end it.
