Help People Find the Love of God Through Work
We acknowledge that God owns it all and we are the stewards of His riches. We strive to prove ourselves doers of the word, and not merely hearers. (James 1:22)
Operate with Radical Generosity
We give owners the freedom to focus on more than short-term profit! We create the ability to make eternal investments in the spiritual growth of your employees and the community
Financially Shrewd & Sustainable
We avoid becoming a firm whose success rests on exploitation. Instead, we bring operational expertise to scale your business, ensuring it remains financially shrewd and sustainable without compromising justice or truth.
The Three Critical Questions
We help Christian leaders answer: What is your clear purpose to expand His Kingdom? How does God want to use this business to bring life to families, blessings to the world, and joy to His heart? And why must it endure to the next generation and beyond?
Humility, Grace & Workmanship
We pursue this journey together with humility and grace. We view work as worship. "Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord rather than for men." (Colossians 3:23)
The Challenge of the Christian Enterprise: What does it mean to truly operate a Christian business? Is profit the ultimate goal, or is it stewardship? Are employees viewed as costs, or as image-bearers of God? While there are massive, successful models to follow—like Chick-fil-A, Hobby Lobby, and Interstate Batteries—they are the exception, not the rule.
The Problem:
Lack of Capital & Freedom
Founders lack the financial backing and freedom to embrace a radically different, Kingdom-focused operating system.
Why Our Approach Is Different:
We provide the capital and operational backing to give you the freedom to focus on more than short-term profit. We invest so you can make eternal investments in your employees and community.
The Problem:
The Founder Trap
If the faith integration depends entirely on a charismatic founder, it rarely survives to the next generation. It must be embedded legally, structurally, and culturally.
Why Our Approach Is Different:
We partner with you to embed your values structurally and operationally, ensuring the firm's Kingdom mission and culture of serving others outlasts any single individual.
The Problem:
No Clear Playbook
Until now, there has been no clear operating system to prove that a radically generous, faith-integrated business is a sustainable and profitable alternative.
Why Our Approach Is Different:
We bring a proven, hands-on playbook that aligns financial shrewdness with radical generosity, proving that a business can scale without relying on the exploitation of laborers or the environment.
Our Focus: The Backbone of the Community
We believe the greatest opportunity to find God via work is serving people at their most vulnerable. These businesses are the perfect place for mentorship and demonstrating the Gospel through compassion and truth.
Businesses that care for the physical and spiritual needs of patients during critical recovery, home health challenges, or end-of-life transitions.
Examples: Hospice, Home Health Care, Physical Therapy, Palliative Care.
Compassionate Health Services
Ethical financial services helping individuals navigate debt, insolvency, or emergency cash flow needs with truth, justice, and a path to freedom.
Examples: Debt Consolidation, Bankruptcy Services, Ethical Emergency Lending.
Financial Crisis Management
Firms providing essential legal and logistical guidance to families facing the complexities of aging parents, guardianship, or family restructuring.
Examples: Elder Law, Care Management, Family Counseling & Mediation.
Senior & Family Advocacy
Essential trades focused purely on restoring safety and shelter for families immediately following fires, floods, or unexpected disasters.
Examples: Disaster Restoration, Biohazard Cleaning, Emergency Repair Services.

The ASMC Playbook
"Hi, I'm Shawn. If you're a business owner thinking about your legacy, I know what's on your mind. You're worried about your people, you're worried about your life's work... and you're looking for a partner you can trust.
At ASMC, we're not just investors; we're hands-on operators. And we have a very clear, 6-step playbook designed to honor your legacy and build a thriving, profitable future.
Here's how it works:
First, we start by giving you freedom. We acquire the business not to flip it, but to steward it. We align on a transition plan that removes the pressure of quarterly earnings and focuses on eternal investments and long-term kingdom impact.
Second, we don't just assess operations; we assess purpose. We help you and your leadership team answer: How does God want to use this business to bring life to families and joy to His heart? This becomes our new operational filter.
Third, we bring world-class operational expertise to ensure the business is financially shrewd and sustainable. We fix the bottlenecks (sales, efficiency) not for the sake of profit alone, but to ensure the business has the resources to be radically generous.
Fourth, we view work as worship (Colossians 3:23). We rebuild compensation and career paths to ensure every employee—from intern to GM—is treated with dignity, paid fairly, and given a clear path to grow their God-given talents.
Fifth, We install a governance structure that protects the mission permanently. We ensure the firm’s success never rests on exploitation, but always on justice, truth, and serving the vulnerable.
And finally, This is the ultimate goal. A thriving, profitable business allows us to operate with radical generosity—funding ministry, serving the marginalized, and creating a daily environment where people can find the love of God through their work.
This is our promise.
We promise to walk this journey with humility and grace. We are here to help you prove yourself a 'doer of the word,' securing a legacy that echoes in eternity
