Kings is the term we use to describe men and women who harness wealth and influence in the marketplace . . . in business, government, communication, education, entertainment, finance, the arts . . . to expand Gods Kingdom. This book explains how marketplace ministry will operate in concert with local churches and pastors. It provides a Scriptural basis for the expansion of the Kingdom of God into all areas of society. It paints a picture of Kings who are naturally competitive, creative, and decisive, who are being used to fulfill the Great Commission. God is going to use an entrepreneurial people to fill the whole Earth with His Glory. Youre invited!
