About Us

At Arukah Works, we believe in the influential power of redemptive entrepreneurship to bring about restorative change.

The word ‘arukah’ means restoration and healing in the Hebrew language. The businesses we build and operate should be instruments that do exactly that; restore and heal the world to its intended state.

In a world where Christian entrepreneurs and business operators are challenged in integrating faith and business, Arukah Works offers methodologies and tools that are designed to build businesses that achieve redemptive outcomes.

Vision

To see Christian entrepreneurs and business owners play an active role in restoring Gospel influence to the marketplace.

Mission

To equip Christian entrepreneurs with the tools, guidance, and community, to build holistically redemptive ventures.

“So we rebuilt the wall…, for the people worked with all their heart.”

– Nehemiah 4:6

Arukah
Collective

Redemptive entrepreneurship is not walked alone and neither do we at Arukah Works.

The Arukah Collective is a group of seasoned professionals who all believe in the power of redemptive entrepreneurship, especially as it applies to their area of expertise. Each member of the Collective specializes in an area of the Redemptive Business Canvas™, having spent their careers in thought, development, and practice in their respective domain.

The Collective is a growing group as we’re always on the lookout for like-minded individuals to collaborate with.

Hannah Lau

Founder & Canvas Co-Creator

Hannah’s career began in corporate advertising when she moved to Asia as a marketplace missionary. She spent 15 years overseas, during which she eventually left the corporate world and founded Astera Asia in 2015. A redemptive business in nature, Astera has worked with over 350+ businesses and organizations, both faith-based and not, across sectors, cultures, and countries.It is through the diverse portfolio of Astera Asia that the Redemptive Business Canvas™ framework emerged and Arukah Works was founded. The methodology and tool are not theoretical, but born out of practical application, real life cases, and an observed need in the landscape. Arukah Works is the culmination of the journey, codifying the learnings, so that others can have a stronger starting point.Hannah is passionate about living out her faith through entrepreneurship and hopes to help others do the same.

I love the invisible but present prerequisite of restoration, weaved in every part of the canvas. You find yourself asking, "why am I doing this? who will this impact". Dreams and goals bigger than you and your present scope, this canvas encourages you to transcribe as much as you can in business terms, with a heavenly perspective and total dependence on God for fruition.

More than the Canvas itself, the training included case studies, examples of other redemptive businesses so that we could see how those ahead of us are already doing it, especially with seemingly ‘everyday’ products and services. This was encouraging and inspiring.

Solar Power Company

Our team is small, but as we build up the business, we now have a foundation of how we can be redemptive in all areas, while considering our local context. Even without a background in business, the training and canvas are a helpful, systematic way for me to engage in this space.

From accounting to ordering, advertising to training employees, there are endless opportunities to touch the lives of every person who walks into our coffee shop. This has been an invaluable takeaway especially during this busy season.

The Redemptive Business Canvas™ serves as a guide for first time and experienced entrepreneurs alike by focusing energy, time and resources in a cohesive direction. More importantly, being redemptive in nature, it leads to the restoration and transformation of individuals, families, and even whole communities.

Dr. Barry Rempel, Safir Global Training.

Building a redemptive business should not be a wilderness to navigate.

We’ve got the tools, training, and coaching support to help you think it all through and launch into restorative action!
