New Venture Lab: Equipping Christian Entrepreneurs

Our Vision

The vision of New Venture Lab is to assist Christian families as follows:

  • Facilitate reform of Christian family life to its Biblical form. 1
  • Equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up and maturing the body of Christ. 2
  • Effect a right and true view of, and motivation for, work and wealth - one that flows out a steward's heart of service to the Lord and directs all glory back to Him for any resulting success. 3
  • Walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please Him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God. 4
  • Seek and yield fruitfulness in all areas of family and business life in order to glorify God. 5

“I’ve watched Wade and observed what he does to try to figure out why he is so effective at what he does and I think the answer is that he is so disciplined at documenting everything.  He observes, he takes notes, he assimilates and he is able to articulate the bottom line very clearly.  He has done a great job with New Venture Lab and it is what is needed for the hour.” — Arnold P.

“Mr. Myers, I wanted to thank you for all you do with New Venture Lab.  It has become my main source of guidance as I attempt to balance family and business life.” — Jeremiah E.
