Why Plant a hospitality business run by missionaries?
Legitimacy
Lantern recognizes the growing challenges that missionaries face in reaching and remaining in their target countries. To address this, we establish licensed businesses that not only serve as platforms for sharing the Gospel but also contribute to local economies through tax revenue. We're not just there to share the gospel, but to improve the city and offer a haven of rest.
Financial
Missionaries already face numerous challenges, both domestically and internationally. Finances shouldn't be one of them. In a world of escalating costs and inflation, our strategy involves connecting missionaries to businesses that generate consistent revenue. This financial stability allows them to focus on their primary mission, without the distractions that financial insecurity can bring.
Daily Gospel Conversations!
Making genuine connections can be a challenge, regardless of the cultural context. By integrating hospitality businesses with social spaces like coffee shops or bakeries, we create consistent opportunities for meaningful interactions. These aren't just business ventures; they're strategic platforms specifically designed to help missionaries display Christ's love and share a vital message of hope on a daily basis.
