Joe Perricone: Developing Special Needs Employees at Our Place Cafe'
Posted: 9 yrs 2 mths ago
March 7, 2016
A living sent at work application example is that of a restauranteur, Mr. Joe Perricone. Mr. Perricone is the Owner of Our Place Café in Hendersonville, Tennessee.
Here are his own words:
Our relationship with Living Sent ministries has opened my mind to doing business with purpose, finding one more thing we can do through Our Place Café, to further God's Kingdom.
I've found connection through relationships in our Christian Executive Group (CEG) meetings [small group] and inspirational monthly meetings [large group]. Our Place Café now operates with a Christ-centered mission statement and a Ministry Action Plan (MAP), both of which add direction to our efforts. (J. Perricone, personal communication, December 15, 2015)
Mr. Perricone’s restaurant is an example of both internal and external missions. Internally, the restaurant intentionally employs special needs individuals. The individuals greet and wait on customers. Mr. Perricone is also out in the community. He sponsors special needs dances in multiple cities, external missions, and calls on special needs people and families at their homes. Does Mr. Perricone’s special needs ministry make a Kingdom-building difference? Yes! All one needs to do is go to the restaurant and look at the smiling faces of the employees and the customers that frequent there.

How to Live Sent
According to Dr. Amy Sherman, there are at least 4 ways to Live Sent:
1. Bloom where you are planted.
Care to help build the Kingdom right where God has you assigned in the marketplace?
2. Start something new.
Do you have a passion for addressing an unmet community need? Consider forming either a for profit or nonprofit company and start something new.
3. Give your skills (vocational) away to a community ministry.
Is there a community ministry that could benefit from your vocational skills and talents?
4. A Church Big Vision for the City.
Does your church have a Big Vision for the City? Do you have one and want to encourage your church to consider helping you to develop it?
