English term

marketplace

English to Spanish Other Religion Business as mission
I dream of disciple-makers from all professions bringing God's love to life in the world's least-reached "marketplaces".
The term is repeated numerous times and the idea is that today's missionaries aren't necessarily religious professionals but people in business & professional fields who are able to make everday-type contacts with people, offer jobs, etc.
I find definitions such as plaza, mercado, mercado de trabajo... not sure I think they get the idea. I have also seen medio laboral & think ámbito laboral might work. Basically the world of daily work & business as opposed to a religious setting.

Doesn't need to be a difference embedded in the word "marketplace", there are the "common marketplaces" like the churches, seminaries & such and the "least-reached marketplaces" ... so sitios can fit, between other possibilities
Marjory Hord (asker) Jan 12, 2015:
sitios? This term might work but doesn't clearly give the difference between these workers and traditional missionaries who are in churches, seminaries & such.

"mercado" / ámbito laboral / and other options

Using quotation marks is a “solution”.

I’d go simply with “mercados”.

Also “ámbitos laborales”, “esferas de trabajo”, “esferas laborales” are options, but in this case, (if you use one of these options) I’d think you would not need to use quotation marks.

Also “all walks of life” ... (gente de todas las profesiones y condiciones sociales), would probably be a valid option, even if a bit more verbose.

¡Saludos cordiales!
Peer comment(s):
agree Susana E. Cano Méndez : "mercados", since there are quotation marks... Maybe "plazas" too, like in stock market.

Muchas gracias, Susana. :-)
agree Jaime Blank : I would use "mercado" in his wide meaning ... not only in the "economic" one. The other possibilities are too narrow and I think they miss the point.

Thanks, Jaime. You may be right... (not sure without more context...) Thanks! :-)

I don't think it necessarily means specific business-oriented locations

Entiendo que se utiliza en un sentido general, no limitado al mundo de los negocios.
La idea es que el mensaje divino debe "venderse/mercadearse" en todos los ámbitos de la vida.

Dicho de otra manera, "marketplaces" recoge la idea de promocionar el mensaje en todos los sectores.

Mi sueño es que "apóstoles" de todas las profesiones den vida al amor de Dios en los reductos/ámbitos más olvidados.
