The purpose of this grounded theory study was to describe the perceptions of female Indonesian employees regarding the impact that working for international female Christian entrepreneurs (IFCEs) in Indonesia has had on their lives. Millions of Indonesian women are migrating to cities or overseas to find employment (World Bank Group, 2017). Most are from rural settings where there is a lack of employment opportunities, especially for women. In their employment situations they find themselves separated from their families and often in unsafe situations. To combat this trend, IFCEs have started Business as Mission (BAM) businesses on the island of Java to employ Indonesian women and to have spiritual impact on their lives. A constructivist grounded theory approach with a feminist lens was utilized to understand the perceptions of 33 female Indonesian employees regarding their employment experiences at 1 of 4 different businesses owned or managed by IFCEs on Java Island. Semi-structured interviews were conducted and data were analyzed using constant comparative analysis. The central understanding to emerge from this study was that these 4 female-initiated BAM businesses, especially in contrast to the women's previous employment, offer a nyaman (comfortable, safe, and secure) environment that creates spiritual benefits and material benefits, though these benefits do not always meet the women's expectations. Working for IFCEs in a nyaman environment also allows employees to build relationships, develop marketable skills, and work in ways that support---rather than hinder---their family life.
