“By virtue of the definition of BEE as presented by Davis, it is not only worth the effort, it’s our obligation. Also, experiential teaching through teaching moments is often more effective than the more traditional classroom/academic teaching, especially when it comes to practical real-world non-academic learning. I believe the litmus test of whether our project is a BEE, or a FLEA lies in HOW our group goes about carrying out our project, more so than the product itself.” 

(Senny L., Korea)

“The BEE method provides a structure and framework by which you can measure your decision.”  (Melissa B., Michigan)

“The best witness for Christ is allowing our craftsmanship, service, and generosity persist in such contrast to FLEA managed products that the world is forced to ask what makes us different.” (Michael S. Eastern, PA.)

“There are always temptations lurking to stand with the world and not on the Word.” 

(Isabell C. Eastern, PA.)

“ In China, most of the people are the first-generation Christians like me. Our education system is based on antitheism (no God, no judgement, no soul, no eternity; just the country and the people, just worldly gains and life). We are very thankful that God opens our eyes and ears so we can see and hear Him. We pray that in China, in His timing, this BEE business revival happens. 

Having a solid belief structure and turning to the Bible for guidance is critical. No different from other aspects of our lives, blurry vision in business also can be made clear by relying on the Word from the ultimate BEE Entrepreneur. Rejection of the BEE model also indicates danger in our relationship with God. It indicates that we no longer put the Lord at the first place in our life and heart. Instead, something else becomes our dominant satisfaction or fear. Our business won’t last forever, but a serving and God-fearing heart does. 

(Janice L., China)

"After reading the first chapter of the BEE I began to realize that it can be easy for us to separate God from business and compartmentalize our spiritual life from our work life.” 

(Jenna C., Eastern, PA.)

“A prejudice is that a BEE project won’t and should not make profits, because it’s out of kindness so customers should not be charged. But this is so wrong.” 

(Lizzy W., China)

“You will experience different issues and challenges in building a BEE project. I am trying to think of companies that have Biblical core but not as strongly emphasized externally. The fact that I can’t think of any companies may highlight prejudices people may have to a Biblical company. Ultimately, we will personally decide to follow a BEE format.” 

(Jeffery S., Central, PA.)

“I believe BEE exists because we fail to properly understand the dynamic of our relationship to God.” 

(Marc D. New Jersey)
