Opportunity
There are hundreds of established incubators, accelerators, entrepreneurship centers, economic development agencies, entrepreneurial education programs, grants, loans, and sources of free resources around the world to help business owners to get started and to grow their businesses. There are best practices in business investment, incubation, acceleration, and growth. All of these can be made available for believers.
The Tarrant County entrepreneurial ecosystem is growing and developing quickly and the regional economy is strong. VBI plans to provide a digital one-stop shop to connect believers, their families, and communities and help them to successfully launch and grow new ventures. We will partner with existing entities to maximize service offerings and avoid re-inventing the wheel. We will also tap into existing networks, resources, and capital. However, our defining factor will be our faith-based mission and our adherence to God’s Word as our guide.
VBI will serve to empower local churches, businesses, households, and entrepreneurs to put their talents and creativity to work for God’s Kingdom. In doing so, we will restore our families, our communities, and our nations for His glory.
If we seek, hear, and obey His calling, He will restore families, cities, and nations
I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws. Then you will live in the land I gave your ancestors; you will be my people, and I will be your God. I will save you from all your uncleanness. I will call for the grain and make it plentiful and will not bring famine upon you. I will increase the fruit of the trees and the crops of the field, so that you will no longer suffer disgrace among the nations because of famine… “ ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: On the day I cleanse you from all your sins, I will resettle your towns, and the ruins will be rebuilt. The desolate land will be cultivated instead of lying desolate in the sight of all who pass through it. They will say, “This land that was laid waste has become like the garden of Eden; the cities that were lying in ruins, desolate and destroyed, are now fortified and inhabited.” Then the nations around you that remain will know that I the Lord have rebuilt what was destroyed and have replanted what was desolate. I the Lord have spoken, and I will do it.’ “This is what the Sovereign Lord says… I will make their people as numerous as sheep… so will the ruined cities be filled with flocks of people. Then they will know that I am the Lord.
– Ezekiel 36:25-38
We believe that we are on the precipice of one of the greatest shifts in human history and that the Holy Word of God should lead the way for current and future generations of believers and entrepreneurs. We will encourage collaboration, investment, and positive engagement among believers, their families, and communities. We will provide a platform for believers to share knowledge, tools, resources, and networks for the common good. As wealth is created, we will tithe and re-invest a percentage of the harvest for the kingdom. The rest we will use to provide freedom for our families.
