Conference co-hosts bring both professional business and international experience to the event. FCCI was founded in 1977 by Robert "Bobby" Mitchell and other Christian business executives who asked what Jesus would do when developing their business practices. Today FCCI operates as a vehicle to empower members to develop their own ministry, recognizing that the workplace provides an incredible opportunity to evangelize and to strengthen faith. The agency has active involvement from well-known Christian teachers such as Bruce Wilkinson, Henry Blackaby, Tony Evans, and Ron Blue. World famous Christian leader Franklin Graham is quoted on their website as saying, "God has begun an evangelism movement in the workplace that has the potential to transform our society as we know it."
Event co-host Faith Comes By Hearing is a nonprofit ministry which exists to reach oral communicators with the Word of God through audio technology. Faith Comes By Hearing partners with the American Bible Society, the International Bible Society, and other world-known ministries to give poor and illiterate people worldwide the opportunity to hear the Bible in their mother tongue.
