Purpose

With a church that is making strides in a new era of increased openness, Azerbaijan is strategically situated in the Caucus region of Central Asia. Political leaders are seeking better standing with Western countries as a vital middle ground along the new Silk Road between China and Europe.  The capital city of Baku is a modern, amenity-filled city funded in large part by the development of oil deposits in the Caspian Sea.

B4T (Business for Transformation) offers the best option for long-term engagement in Azerbaijan.  The business environment is ripe for entrepreneurial business ideas that would provide a way to integrate and minister in communities.  Some ideas that could succeed are running a high-end podcast studio, offering pet services or operating a food truck.  

Skills

Ideal candidates need to possess small business acumen with vision and creativity to find market niches and successfully execute businesses to serve these niches.  Candidates need a high level of flexibility and willingness to endure the economic cycles and bureaucracy of a developing country. Most importantly, candidates will possess an ability to integrate their faith and witness with sensitivity in their business relationships within a majority Muslim context.
