ABSTRACT

The specialized literature offers relevant support for the idea that the entrepreneurship and the private initiative represent the foundation of the economic growth. Despite this evidence, researchers have long established a relationship between religion and entrepreneurship; however, how specific religious beliefs play a role in this relationship remains unknown. Therefore, this study explores the kind of teachings (spiritual message) that kimbanguist church uses to inculcate entrepreneurial intention among 17 million of believers. The research is based on a review of pertinent literature in the field of economic activities, church entrepreneurship and face to face interviews at nkamba new Jerusalem during the three key dates in the Kimbanguist calendar. It proposes to politics to work together with religion (church), to draw inspiration from its lessons in order to boost entrepreneurship and hence the economy.
