How the Global BAM Movement Emerged

Welcome to the first of three 14 to 18 minute videos, explaining and portraying the global BAM movement.

The modern-day BAM movement is young, 25 years or so. In a three-part video series, we will shortly describe the global BAM movement, its past, present and future.

In part 1 you will learn how the BAM concept was developed, and get glimpses of the early beginnings of BAM around the globe. Part 2 will give an overview of the global movement and its various constituencies. Lastly and looking forward, part 3 will describe some of the challenges and BHAGs (Big Hairy Audacious Goals) that BAM Global has identified.

As we start this series, please note that Business as Mission, BAM, is a relatively new term, but it is an old concept deeply rooted in Scripture, and well-grounded in our Judeo-Christian tradition.

TransformationalSME has been a key leader from the early days of the BAM movement, and has given significant contributions clarifying the concept and building the global BAM movement.

This video series was produced by and for the School of Business & Entrepreneurship (SOBE). They “teach you to use business as a tool to see God’s redemption and transformation in a culture, with a specific focus of impacting the least-reached peoples on the planet.” The presenter is Mats Tunehag, internationally known BAM speaker, author and co-chair of the BAM Global Team.
