Like it or not...we're all role models. The only question is will it be positive or will it be negative."
Cal Ripken Jr., Baseball Hall of Fame Inductee

"Where once I thought a job should be meaningful, now I realize the worker brings meaning to the job.'
Bonnie Wurzbacher, Vice President, Coca-Cola

"Well, I like my job."

Rather than Christianity being an 'add on' to work, Christian faith ought to completely animate the way we work."
Michael Mcloughlin, MBA YWAM Marketplace Mission

God is marshaling His people in the workplace as never before in history. God is up to something. The next spiritual awakening could take place in the workplace."
Henry Blackaby

The spiritual manifests itself in a life which knows no division into sacred and secular."
Oswald Chambers

There is a distinction between church work and the work of the church. Church work is what you do for the organized institution of the church. The work of the church is what is done between Sundays when the church is scatted all over the metropolitan area where it is located - in homes, schools, offices, on construction jobs, in market places."
Dick Halverson

Workplace ministry will be one of the core future innovations in church ministry."
George Barna, Boiling Point

"There is truly no division between sacred and secular except what we have created. And that is why the division of the legitimate roles and functions of human life into the sacred and secular does incalculable damage to our individual lives and the cause of Christ. Holy people must stop going into "church work" as their natural course of action and take up holy orders in farming, industry, law, education, banking, journalism with the same zeal previously given evangelism or to pastoral and missionary work."
Dallas Willard, The Spirit of Discipline

We reviewed 52 movements in the body of Christ. We narrowed it down to 28, then 4 to invest our resources in the coming years. The workplace is one of those because this is an area where we see God working."
Chad Hammond, Director, New Ventures (A division of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association)

Indeed, as with first-century Christianity, it all begins in the marketplace, where the disciples of Jesus daily rub shoulders with the lost."
Bill McCartney, Promise-Keepers

The workplace is where a majority of a church congregation spends a majority of their time interacting with a majority of the unchurched world. The Church on Monday is evidence that the Church on Sunday is real."
Doug Spada, HisChurchatWork.org

I believe pastors will be the last to really embrace this movement because it is such a new paradigm. However, ultimately, they will be the instruments God will use to make the greatest impact in the movement because of their influence in so many people's lives."
Os Hillman, International Coalition of Workplace Ministries

Societal transformation is high on God's agenda and the chief catalytic force to bring it about will be Christians ministering in the marketplace."
C. Peter Wagner, Global Harvest Ministries

Workplace believers seldom feel served by their churches in their jobs and careers on issues of fatih and biblical ethics."
Peter Hammond, Intervarsity Christian Fellowship
