Abstract
Entrepreneurial
process has been done by many Churches for the social purpose. But, in reality
the process leads to the business purposes. Only a small part of Churches has
declared that his entrepreneurial processes are for business purpose, mostly
use the word diakonia (social
services) for the process. The Churches still in the struggle to establish a
Christian paradigm of entrepreneurship. Until now, they have not found a
Christian pattern/model of entrepreneurship. Therefore, this study aimed to
find a model of Christian entrepreneurship.
