Eric Engebretsen | "Forever Changed" - How Being a Missionary Set the Trajectory for Eric's Career and Life

from Hand-in-Hand: God and Your Career · host Travis Corbin

Few of us have had the privilege of serving God full time among some of the kindest yet poorest people on earth, and fewer make their love for God and those people their career reality. Eric Engebretsen has done both. After witnessing firsthand the impoverished circumstances of the humble people of Argentina for two years as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, Eric returned to the United States troubled by the many educational and professional opportunities that he had, but that his Argentinian friends did not.Determined to help them and other impoverished peoples, Eric and his co-founder eventually created Bloom, an international staffing agency that makes US-based, online jobs accessible to people living in third-world countries throughout the world.For anyone looking for inspiration on how to make a career out of doing good and serving God, this podcast is for you.
