Opportunities for Business Leaders and Professionals

Our vision is to see leaders living and leading wholeheartedly for Jesus. The Christian Embassy team endeavours to offer meaningful services that will help inspire you to follow the Greatest Leader of all with all your heart and strength. In doing so, you will be Christ’s ambassador to those you lead and serve. There is no greater faith adventure!

We offer several initiatives that will give you the opportunity to network and connect with diplomats and parliamentarians, as well as with other business leaders and professionals. As you trust Jesus to lead you in your conversations, you may have incredible opportunity to both share your own faith journey and to be inspired by the stories of others.

"Not only was the speaker's message very pertinent, it also reflected the pervasive feeling of generosity and openness across these countless tables at which your multinational guests were seated. No barriers, it seemed, of any kind, between so many peoples and faiths, all thanks to your huge ecumenical efforts."

Canada’s Role: Feeding the World while Saving the Planet

Due to a myriad of forces and global disruptions, food insecurity has expanded in recent years and currently impacts almost 10% of the world’s population. Feeding the world’s growing population is a significant undertaking and challenge, especially as we embrace the need to be excellent stewards of the environment and align increased production of digestible protein with lower emissions and maximized carbon sequestration.

Already one of the most sustainable producers of meat, milk and eggs globally, Canada must continue to improve its production efficiency resulting in even greater sustainability and increased, cost effective production in order to meet the growing need for food and more specifically, digestible protein around the world.
