Role of Global Christian Communities to Equip the World with Henry Kaestner

How can the Church better equip and activate entrepreneurs to advance God’s kingdom? In this energizing talk from the Workplace Track at the Fourth Lausanne Congress, Henry Kaestner casts a compelling vision for the unique and powerful role of faith-driven entrepreneurs. Sharing stories from around the world—Nepal, the Philippines, Southeast Asia—he highlights how business leaders, when rooted in the gospel, can become redemptive forces in the marketplace.

Henry speaks candidly about the loneliness, spiritual battles, and temptations entrepreneurs face, while offering practical pathways for discipleship, accountability, and calling. His message is a rallying cry for pastors, churches, and Christian communities to engage, encourage, and unleash entrepreneurs for global impact.

Part of the Lausanne Workplace Track Series, this talk is for anyone who wants to see the marketplace become a mission field—and a place of worship.
