Made To Flourish Ohio presents “Entrepreneurship for Human Flourishing,” a one-day retreat for pastors who are serving churches in Ohio. You are invited to join Peter Greer, President and CEO of Hope International, to be encouraged and equipped in your capacity to further a robust theology of vocation in the local church and to help your congregation (re)integrate faith, work and economics for the common good.

Peter Greer is President and CEO of HOPE International, a global Christ-centered microenterprise development organization serving throughout Africa, Asia, Latin America, and Eastern Europe. Before beginning his role at HOPE, Peter worked as a microfinance practitioner in Cambodia, Zimbabwe, and Rwanda and earned a master’s degree from Harvard University. He has co-authored several books, including The Poor Will Be Glad, The Spiritual Danger of Doing Good, and Mission Drift. He also serves as the entrepreneur-in-residence at Messiah College and as a Praxis Venture Partner. Peter and his wife, Laurel, live in Lancaster, PA, with their three children.
