Ellen White had a dream about how to do missional entrepreneurship back in 1876 - but we lost sight of it. Jesse Zwiker shares powerful details about the "beehive vision", why he started Hyve and how we can "work the cities properly."
Around 1900, the population of San Francisco was doubling every few years. Tens of thousands of people came to the city - and Adventists were ready to help out. They established a network of restaurants, shops and treatment centers. They provided homes for orphans, gave jobs to unemployed people and shared the love of God with them. They were working for God full-time, in a self-sustainable way. They were missional entrepreneurs.
Ellen White referred to this work a few years later and called it a "beehive". She repeatedly said that we need to take this method and reproduce it in other cities. But unfortunately, we lost sight of it. Jesse Zwiker, founder of Hyve, explains why he started Hyve and how we can bring this beehive vision back to life.
