For over 20 years, I worked as an executive for multinational companies such as Kraft Foods, Colgate-Palmolive, and Philips, and as the co-founder and CEO of a company with over 250 stores in 5 countries.

Since my spiritual transformation in 2001, I have realized that given the amount of time each person spends earning a living, business and career can be some of the most effective tools of influence that can help people learn the Truth. This approach is called "Business as Mission”. My corporate experience, combined with the study and research of God's Word, has helped me build a concept that allows almost any endeavor — whether business, career, or ministry — to be transformed into "Business as Mission" and do more than just perform certain actions. Instead, it is about creating a legacy, something that has a horizon wider than a person's life and affects the minds and souls of all involved!

After Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, I led the “World Partners" Charitable Foundation and use this approach to serve people in critical need. Ultimately, "Business as Mission" is nothing more than living the Gospel message through practical action, demonstrating God’s principles of leadership, integrity, and compassion in every project you undertake, whether in the marketplace or in humanitarian aid.

The Tabouret Principle is more than just a book — it’s a framework for impactful leadership. If the message of the book resonates with you and your team, I invite you to take the next step. Let's explore how we can partner together through a dedicated training session or strategic consulting to bring these transformative principles directly into your organization.

If you are a entrepreneur, working‑profession believer or Christian leader, who feels stuck between “making a living” and serving God with purpose, this book will change how you connect faith, work, and mission. The Power of the Tabouret Principle offers a Bible‑inspired framework to build a sustainable business, career, and ministry — turning everyday work into a genuine Business as Mission calling.

The book begins where the Bible begins — in Genesis 1 — and unfolds the Tabouret Principle from the story of creation:

•   God first creates light, stars, earth, day and night, plants, fish, and animals — a system, environment, and infrastructure that support life. This is the first leg of the tabouret: structure, systems, and foundations.

•   Then God creates man and woman, the first team, and enters into partnership with them — the second leg: relationships, collaboration, and shared calling.

•   God then commands them to be fruitful and multiply — the third leg: clients, followers, disciples, and growth.

•   Finally, the seat of the tabouret reveals God’s redemptive vision: salvation, restoration, and reconciliation, pursued despite human rebellion and sin.

Drawing on Genesis and echoing through many other passages of Scripture, the Tabouret Principle becomes a practical model for seeing Business as Mission in action — where integrity, service, and profitability are not competing demands, but expressions of the same calling. You’ll learn how to:

•   Build a life, business, or ministry that reflects God’s order and purpose and functions as Business as Mission.

•   Avoid burnout by creating structures that are both spiritually rooted and economically viable.

•   Lead teams and influence clients in a way that integrates faith, truth, service, and mission.

Through clear examples, biblical insights, and practical steps, this book will help you turn your enterprise into a platform for Business as Mission — whether you are launching a startup, leading a company or being employed by the one, serving in a nonprofit, or pastoring a church.

The Power of the Tabouret Principle is for anyone who wants to stop choosing between “church life” and “real life” — and instead build a faith‑rooted, mission‑driven legacy where business, career, and ministry become one integrated Business as Mission journey.
