The Christian Home Business Association (CHBA) was founded in the autumn of 2008 by Cynthia Kiteley Lee (her photo is to the right).  A Christian entrepreneur who lives in a small town in the mountains of Northwest Arkansas, Lee says that, for her, the Christian Home Business Association is "a ministry as much as a business association."

        This is because Lee felt "led by the Holy Spirit to establish the Christian Home Business Association to help bring ethical Christian entrepreneurs together so that they could become more effective in transforming the marketplace and establishing the Kingdom of God within it.

      "Another element in my founding of the Christian Home Business Association was that I felt that in these turbulent and financially insecure times it is imperative to build home-based businesses and incomes that don't depend on a shrinking and increasingly competitive job market, personal savings, or investments in a very volatile stock and mutual funds market."

       Prior to founding the Christian Home Business Association, Lee established the Life More Abundant Club in the autumn of 2006 and officially launched it in January 2007. It  provides home business information (through reports and newsletters) for Christian entrepreneurs who are budget conscious and don't want to invest a lot of money in connection with starting and building their home businesses.

      Lee's husband John is a retired pubic school administrator and a former Holiness Pastor who served congregations in northeast Oklahoma for about 20 years. She earned a Master's degree in Anthropology from the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville and has worked in the fields of nonprofit administration, public relations, publications, educational programming and special event management for more than 25 years.
