Danny + Sheena Klos
Danny + Sheena Klos
Danny and Sheena Klos have discovered a unique calling that shapes both their marriage and their work: serving the Lord through business. For them, business is not just a way to make a living—it’s a way to make disciples, build community, and grow God’s Kingdom.
Danny grew up in Lubbock and began his career working in his family’s business. Eventually, though, he felt God leading him to step away. He moved to Austin and sensed the Lord telling him to start something new. “It’s all about the people,”Danny explains. “I wanted to create a great place for great people to work.” For him, the heart of business was never just profit—it was people.
Sheena was saved early on in her childhood. Though she came to know the Lord as a child, over time her pursuit of the Lord slowed and was replaced with people-pleasing, anxiety, and depression. But in her twenties, she knew it was time to come back. When she and Danny got engaged, they began attending Victory Life. “This church felt like a safe place,” Sheena remembers.
It was in a Sunday school class and small group that Sheena’s faith grew roots. “My faith started to make sense,” she says. “My depression and anxiety have gone away. A community group was something I thought I never wanted, but now it’s something I’m so thankful for—and something I don’t ever want to go without again.”
Danny and Sheena got connected to B4T (Business for Transformation), a movement that uses business as a platform to reach people with the Gospel. At a conference, Danny was struck by how business could be a tool for discipleship. “How often does a typical person get to talk to a pastor?” he asks. “Maybe 30 minutes on a Sunday or an hour in a small group—that’s only 52 hours a year. But if you run a business with a B4T perspective, that’s 40 hours a week. That’s a total game changer.”
Danny often uses an eye-opening comparison to explain the potential of B4T: “We’ve been trying to share the Gospel for 2,000 years and have reached 64% of the world. Coca-Cola has only been around for 100 years and has reached 98%. B4T makes sense. You go, you teach, you live, and you commit to people groups.” He goes on to explain that most countries will no longer allow American missionaries in, yet they welcome American businesses with open arms.
For him, the most successful B4T stories aren’t about business models or strategies—they’re about love for people. “The difference between successful B4T companies and unsuccessful ones isn’t what they do. The most successful companies never set out saying, ‘I’m going to start a business.’ They went and fell in love with a people group. If you’re about the people, it doesn’t matter what you do.”
Sheena shares that passion in her own work. She runs a med spa, and she sees every appointment as ministry. “Through Avodah I learned that God has given me a skill and a desire. He opened doors and brought people to me, and that’s why it’s successful. Every hour I’m with a client, I get to pray for them—whether they know it or not.”
The two see themselves as connectors in the B4T network—linking people, encouraging missionaries, and reminding others that business itself can be Kingdom work. “We keep going to these conferences and getting to catch up with friends across the world,” Sheena says. “Hearing what God is doing everywhere is so inspiring. I feel like Danny and I’s job is connecting people within B4T.”
Danny describes his own walk of faith in terms of Jonah’s story: God often calls him to take steps in business that don’t make sense at the time. “Business strengthens my faith because I have to rely heavily on the Lord to show me the next step. He clearly tells me to take it, and I trust that there will be solid footing there. Most times I don’t see how the outcome will work, but I believe His plan will prevail. My responsibility is to lay faithful plans and keep moving forward in faith. The goal isn’t to make a lot of money—the goal is to love people and serve the Lord.”
Together, Danny and Sheena live out a calling that intertwines their gifts, their work, and their faith. Their testimony is one of obedience to the Lord’s calling in their life, and a deep conviction that the workplace is one of the most powerful mission fields in the world.
Though their story is a convicting reminder of the power of Advodah, it shouldn’t be the only one like it. Living on mission with your business or in your work place is the everyday calling of every believer - to see our work as worship and our workplace as a mission field.
