The Ten Minas

Areas we work in

At Parable Trust, we believe that business is not separate from the Kingdom of God.

We believe that businesses, when built and stewarded well, can create employment, restore dignity, strengthen communities, generate resources for Kingdom work, and improve people’s lives in practical and lasting ways. Our long-term vision is to help build, acquire, support, and redeem businesses operating in areas that have a significant impact on everyday life.

This vision is global and not limited to the UK.

It is shaped by the Parable of the Minas, where servants are entrusted with resources and instructed to put them to work faithfully until the return of the master.

“And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.”

(Luke 19:17)

We believe this speaks not only of stewardship, but also of multiplication, responsibility, faithful action, and Kingdom authority flowing from faithful stewardship.

Our aim is not growth for its own sake. Rather, we seek to steward businesses in ways that:

Create meaningful employment
Operate with integrity and excellence
Serve people well
Generate resources for the work of the gospel
Demonstrate the Lordship of Jesus Christ in the marketplace

The Areas We Work In

Food / Farming

Our Daily Bread from the Father

Food production is foundational to human life. We believe sustainable agriculture and responsible stewardship of the land are essential for both communities and nations.

Water

Rivers of Living Water from the Holy Spirit

Access to clean water remains one of the most basic human needs. We believe sustainable solutions in this area can radically improve health, stability, and quality of life.

Health / Wellness / Medicine

The Healing of Jesus

Healthcare has the power to transform lives and relieve suffering. We believe businesses operating in this sector should combine excellence, compassion, and integrity.

Renewable Energy

The Power of the Holy Spirit

Reliable and sustainable energy is increasingly important for communities, infrastructure, and economic growth. We believe innovation in this area can serve both people and the environment responsibly.

Education

The Teaching of Jesus

Education shapes individuals, families, and societies. We believe access to strong education and training can unlock opportunity and long-term change.

Technology

Innovation from our Creator

Technology continues to shape almost every aspect of modern life. We believe it should be developed and used responsibly, with a focus on serving people well rather than simply pursuing profit.

Finance

Multiplying Talents

Finance influences almost every area of society and business. We believe financial systems should support stewardship, responsibility, and long-term value creation.

Construction

Building on Christ the Cornerstone

Safe housing and strong infrastructure are essential to stable communities. We believe construction and development should be approached with long-term thinking and care for people.

Transportation

Redeeming Donkeys

Transport connects people, businesses, and nations. Effective transportation systems help enable trade, employment, and economic development.

Manufacturing

Blessing the Work of the Hands

Manufacturing creates employment, skills, innovation, and economic strength. We believe strong manufacturing businesses can play a significant role in building sustainable economies.

Looking Forward

Parable Trust believes that the marketplace is one of the great mission fields of our time. We are committed to continuing the work of building and supporting businesses that honour God, serve people well, and create lasting impact. We recognise that none of this can be achieved through business ability alone.

It requires wisdom, integrity, prayer, faithful stewardship, and dependence upon God. We continue to look for opportunities to walk alongside Christian leaders, entrepreneurs, and businesses who share this vision for the marketplace.
