Business and Ministry
Master's Plan
Did God call you to have a business that expands His Kingdom?
If yes, start your journey here. For entrepreneurs of startups and pivoting companies, Dr. Rosario “Chato” Calderon developed an easy-to-follow and functional model of a Business and Ministry Master’s Plan Canvas© for planning. Moreover, the approach prioritizes the entrepreneurs’ goals, leverages their strengths, and anticipates and minimizes potential sources of failure in their business and spiritual lives.
A profitable business solves customers’ problems and a sustainable ministry meets their spiritual and social needs. The strategy achieves both these objectives in a multicultural, global marketplace. The method engages and integrates the company’s value proposition, customer segmentation, partners, key activities and resources, marketing channels, competitive advantage, and financial information in the plan.
Transforming Gobal Marketplace
Entrepreneurs need mentors to bring focus, structure, guidance, and accountability in starting their businesses. SMaRT Ministry developed the Business and Ministry Master’s Plan Canvas©—a tool designed to help Christians start or pivot into a profitable business and a purpose-driven ministry with Kingdom impact.
This Mentorship Guide offers a roadmap in planning and implementing marketplace transformation while addressing how to build sustainable enterprises, overcome spiritual challenges through faithful ministry, and serve the underserved and unreached communities with generosity.
Planning without God is like a rudderless voyage. The Bible states that “A man’s heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps” (Proverbs 16:9).

the problem
Conflicting values in the marketplace
Christians struggle to live their faith in the marketplace, navigating conflicts between professional demands and ethical principles. This conflict challenges their intimate relationship with God, hinders personal fulfillment, and prevents effective witness of God’s love.
- Enthusiastic theists on Sunday and practical atheists the rest of the week
- Many people in the marketplace are “of the world” and “live in darkness”
- Atheistic culture of worshipping self and the material world denies God’s existence
- Society's moral compass based on relative truth in contrast to God's absolute truth (Isaiah 5:20 Woe to them that call evil good, and good evil)
the solution
Relational integration of faith
With SMaRT, Christians can easily integrate their faith in a multicultural marketplace. The Holy Spirit will empower them to be servant leaders humbly serving God and others in a self-reliant marketplace.
- Integrate faith in the workplace to practice biblical principles of integrity, truth, and justice
- Pray for opportunities to reach out to lonely and needy Christians and non-believers
- Prioritize relational intimacy with God and cultivate healthy relationship with others
- Generously spend God's gift of time, talents, and treasures on being faithful and fruitful stewards
