In this Faith Horizons episode, Nathan Sack and John Losh talk with Fawn Brents, about how missions, business, and ministry come together in everyday work. Fawn shares how God led her from the mission field in Ecuador to founding Kansas City Real Estate, Inc., and how she discovered that real estate itself could be a powerful platform for ministry.

In this episode, you’ll hear about:

• From Ecuador missions to Kansas City real estate
  • How she and her husband Charlie were inspired by Mission to the Head Hunters
  • Serving with Gospel Missionary Union (GMU/Avant) among the Quichua people in the Andes

• Seeing business as ministry
  • Struggling with success in business while feeling she’d “missed” a life in traditional ministry
  • A turning point in prayer where she sensed God say:
  • “You are in ministry, if you would just recognize it, Fawn.”
  • Starting Bible studies in her office, praying with buyers and sellers, and treating every client interaction as spiritual opportunity
• Launching Kansas City Real Estate, Inc.
  • The backstory of the kansascityrealestate.com domain her husband bought in 1994
  • Launching her own brokerage in 2009 during the recession—losing money the first year, breaking even the second, then growing
  • Building a team of about 20 full-time agents plus referral agents who love ministry first and use real estate as their vehicle
• Equipping churches and business leaders
  • Fawn’s vision to help churches mobilize businesspeople and to encourage Christian business owners
  • Using Proverbs at business events to show that many of the best sales and leadership ideas come straight from Scripture
  • Helping leaders bring Christ into their business in a winsome, non-pushy way that honors customers and employees
• A bigger view of work
  • Why work was God’s idea before the fall, not a punishment
  • Seeing business as ministry to customers, employees, and community
  • How a healthy, profitable business can actually multiply ministry impact rather than compete with it.

This conversation will challenge you to rethink your job or business and recognize how God can use your everyday work as real Kingdom ministry.
