Mission360, a Christian-based foundation,<br />

founded by Ross Alan Hill, began in January<br />

2010 with headquarters in Edmond, <strong>Oklahoma</strong>.<br />

Designed for the marketplace, it provides<br />

services such as teaching CEO’s how to use<br />

their business for Jesus, mentoring young<br />

business leaders, developing growth strategies,<br />

business plans and leadership skills<br />

based on Christian values. Hill was introduced<br />

to the concept on a mission trip to the<br />

Dominican Republic in 2009.<br />

Since that time, Hill has traveled the world,<br />

conducting business value forums. These<br />

forums teach ethical business standards based<br />

upon the core values of Christianity. The<br />

foundation also provides Christian books to<br />

leaders as a secondary source of leadership<br />

information. In addition, Hill has written over<br />

1,000 blogs, which are read in 121 countries.<br />

“I could see the need for business leaders<br />

to use their influence for Jesus,” Hill says.<br />

This led him to become involved in numerous<br />

overseas mission trips at which he and other<br />

executives speak to business leaders and hold<br />

breakout sessions.<br />

Believing that the marketplace provides<br />

a huge opportunity to reach people for<br />

Christianity, Hill has also spoken for CBMC<br />

and traveled in Latin America, holding<br />

forums on behalf of CBMC. He has also<br />

traveled to Colombia and Uganda, where<br />

the concept really took root. Hill has since<br />

participated in value forums in Ecuador,<br />

Guatemala, Kenya, and twice in China.<br />

In a thirteen month period during the<br />

development of Mission360, Hill spoke fortyseven<br />

times on five continents and throughout<br />

the U.S., <strong>Oklahoma</strong> City area and other<br />

<strong>Oklahoma</strong> sites on Christ’s leadership. He has<br />

also given away over 2,000 Christian-based<br />

books from his executive office at Bank2. His<br />

first book, Broken Pieces—Nothing Is Wasted,<br />

has been warmly received and is available<br />

through www.Amazon.com, www.B&N.com<br />

and some local bookstores. It was released in<br />

Spanish during July and Chinese in October<br />

of 2014.<br />

While speaking to about 400 business and<br />

communist party leaders at a conference in<br />

Beijing, China, Hill told the audience the<br />

Christian values used in operating Bank2,<br />

plays a large part in the success of the bank.<br />

Bank2 was ranked the number one community<br />

bank in the U.S. in 2009 and number<br />

three in 2010.<br />

Best-selling author Mark Batterson, stated<br />

in his book, Draw the Circle, he believed he<br />

had never encountered a businessman more<br />

devoted than Hill to the cause of Christ. “The<br />

bank is his pulpit, and its customers are his<br />

congregation,” Batterson wrote, adding that<br />

Hill “defines business as mission” and is great<br />

at both.<br />
