JC and Marghie Christensen. Business model of church planting in hopes of going international.

  • Story: Last May our neighborhood experienced a tragedy.  Terry and Terri Starky's home burnt to the ground at 6am on a Sunday morning. …
     
    Over the next 9 months we had multiple opportunities to minister to them and witness to them about the goodness and greatness of God.  Our relationship with them grew in so many ways through this experience.  It was exciting to listen to them begin to process what had happen to them through God's story and give him glory in the midst of their grief and loss. …
     
    It was through this event that God showed us (a missional business) how he is fulfilling his Word and using his church to accomplish the glory in his story. (See Jeremiah 16:19-21 ESV) …

    So whether it is happening here in our little neighborhood in rural Apple Creek or oversees in the hearts of felting artisans in Central Asia, our business is accomplishing its purpose.  Morning Star Fiber exists to glorify God by pursuing a vision to the ends of the earth as a premier natural fiber business that brings hope to local communities through spiritual, economic, and social transformation.  It's who we are.  It's what we do.
