ASI Inter-American Division Launches Free Online Business Directory to Promote Member Support

Posted on Jul 06 2025

Inter-America — November 2023

The Adventist Laymen’s Services and Industries (ASI) Inter-American Division has officially launched its Online Business Directory, a dynamic digital platform designed to connect Seventh-day Adventist business owners with church members across the region. This strategic initiative allows ASI members to list their businesses free of charge, offering a centralized space where fellow believers can easily find, access, and support Adventist-owned enterprises.

The platform seeks to address a long-standing challenge within the Adventist business community—lack of visibility and connectivity. While many ASI members operate reputable and service-oriented businesses, their offerings often go unnoticed by fellow church members simply because the information is not readily accessible.

“We recognize that many of our members are eager to support Adventist businesses, but often don’t know where to start,” said an ASI-IAD representative. “This directory is a simple but powerful solution to bridge that gap. By increasing access and awareness, we are fostering a stronger spirit of collaboration, stewardship, and mutual support within our faith community.”

The online directory is open to all registered ASI members within the Inter-American Division and is part of ASI’s broader mission to empower lay professionals, promote ethical business practices, and strengthen the economic and spiritual fabric of the Adventist community.

The user-friendly platform allows members to:

• Create a personalized business profile

• List products or services by category

• Include contact information and business descriptions

• Connect with clients across national and regional boundaries

In addition to promoting member-to-member commerce, the directory encourages Adventist consumers to make values-based purchasing decisions, supporting businesses that uphold principles of integrity, service, and excellence.

The launch of the directory is expected to boost visibility for Adventist businesses while promoting a culture of economic empowerment within the Church.
