Christ Alive! | Christian Testimonies, Stories and Reflections

The kingdom of God is breaking out right in our midst, in our workplaces. You won’t hear about it on the evening network news. You won’t read about it in your local newspaper. But you will hear about it from members of Christians in Commerce. Here are just a few of the stories from the front lines of the workplace.

Christians in Commerce members share their workplace stories, reflections and testimonies of being Christ in the Workplace. Select a category to display abstracts from our ChristAlive Archives.

My hands tightly gripped the metal sides of the car as we slowly climbed the long, steep hill of the rollercoaster.

Now I was terrified and just wanted off.

Drawn Together
Before I was aware of CIC, I’d been looking for a group where I could be accountable spiritually and have a place to grow in the Lord. When first attending WCIC, I was touched by the women’s honesty, placing Christ first in their lives. I immediately felt their acceptance of me as one of them.

Being Christ By Being Available
In the past, while I was seeking new employment, our Father blessed me with a renewed spirit of being present to the people, places and circumstances I encountered. I was very blessed by a deeper intimacy with our Father, which enabled me to spend more time in prayer and reflection.

Marching Orders
Our real estate company went through major downsizing a few years ago from approximately twenty employees to the broker, my husband (Doug) and me... Doug and I knew we couldn’t work from home. We talked, looked for office space, and prayed about what we should do.
