I have been asked, sometimes several times every week by different people who communicates with me via business, friendships or just at random. One question I get asked often is,

What Does 3:16 in your business name mean?

Most Christians would be familiar with the infamous John 3:16 bible scripture, For God so love the world, that He gave His only begotten Son so that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.

My business name, however is not based on this particular scripture. It birthed from 1 John 3:16. Something that most people are unaware of: We know what Love is because Jesus gave His life for us. That's why we must give our lives for each other (Contemporary English Version).

When I came home from my mission trip to Kenya more than 2 years ago, I knew God didn't plan for me to be a missionary overseas like most. I knew that my mission field is at home, here in the Frisco Texas area. I accepted the calling, took up the cross and went to work to launch my very own real estate brokerage in 2007. Nope, I didn't end up as a Re/Max, Keller Williams or Century 21 agent. I knew God had a different plan for me. I prayed about a business name and after many days, I felt very strongly about 3:16 team REALTY.

Though I am currently the broker and sole Realtor(R) of this company, team (for now) just means God and I. We are a TEAM. No decisions are made without prayerfully consulting Him. I know that God has plans to expand this "team".

Many friends, families and past clients who care about me ask me about How my business is doing - especially with the real estate market conditions in the way that it is. I smile and reply with the same answer every single time. "Business may be slow for some. But for me, things are heading in the right direction. I am never too swamped with clients. And whenever one client closes on a transaction, in a day or two, a new client will always call me for my assistance. I dont know how it happens, but it always does".

One of the more memorable conversations I've had with a fellow Realtor(R) was asked about What 3:16 means? After I explained how most people would associate the name with John 3:16, but this business is really about 1 John 3:16. His comment was, "Wow. I have never heard that before but I am proud to do business with someone has a 3:16 name in their business".

My views and how I represent myself since that conversation has never been the same. Everyday, I carry my role as Christ's ambassador, my God as my CEO. I hold myself accountable to Godly expectations. I am salt to add God-flavors and I am light to add God-colors in everyone I encounter with.

My mission is very clear. My job is to share Christ's love with everyone I come in contact with through real estate. That's all it is required of me. There is no hidden agenda. In 1 Corinthians 3:6, I planted the seeds, Apollo watered the plants but God made them grow. Need I say more?

So, in return, I'd love to hear what - if there is a meaning to your business? Share with me. I'm all ears.
