The Organization, Christian Business Leaders - 1416 Words

Our organization, Christian Business Leaders (CBL), welcomes all majors and strives to bring students together under one common purpose: To foster a Christ-centered organization that encourages service through Christ and leadership in business. No matter the student s major, he or she will take part in a business process, from creating a resume to interviewing for a job to working with executives in the corporate world. We believe that our Christian values should be incorporated into everything we do, which includes these business processes. Christian Business Leaders has been able to help students understand how to apply their values in the job search and workplace.

Adrian Peterson s story was so amazing because he overcame adversity, which instilled values and characteristics in him that every person should have. More specifically, he reached his goals through faith, motivation, and hard work. He was truly inspiring, and made a lasting impact on ISU, through an event hosted by Christian Business Leaders. Another influential speaker was Gil Fonger. Mr. Fonger is a charismatic leader, who spoke to us about his life experiences in business and his faith journey. Mr. Fonger’s event was named â€Å"Leading with Values in Today’s World.† In addition, Christian Business Leaders donated to Marklund, which is a home for adults and children with profound disabilities. The money we donated helped with Marklund’s Children Home.

During this event, Ken was able to speak about something he was never able to speak publicly about: his faith during his career. Ken
