ATTACHED IS THE COPIED STATEMENT ON INTEGRATION OF FAITH AND WORK
A s a university, we believe that the message of Jesus Christ bears profound implications, not only for individuals, but also for society and the ways that we as individuals live within it. The Lord Jesus instructed His followers to live as salt and light within society, which implies a call to live out our lives in ways that contribute to the common good. We are convinced that this call extends to the workplace and that our respective vocations represent vital opportunities to glorify God by serving others in ways that promote human flourishing. Therefore, by God’s grace, we seek to distinguish ourselves as a university by instilling a sense of vocational calling and purpose in our students, faculty and staff in accord with the following principles: WE BELIEVE that God’s Word speaks authoritatively about creation, fall and redemption as well as the restoration of all things through Christ Jesus. Therefore, we are convinced that the Christian worldview offers hope of restoration, not only for individuals, but also for families, communities and societies in which individuals live, work and serve one another. WE BELIEVE that God the Almighty created the world, placed human beings within it and blessed them by making them responsible for cultivating and caring for creation. Therefore, we are assured that our work within the world matters to God and our neighbors, and that we honor God by serving others in ways that promote human f lourishing. WE BELIEVE that Jesus Christ is both Savior and Lord and that all who follow Jesus should seek His Kingdom and His righteousness in relation to all aspects of human experience, including culture and society. Therefore, we have resolved to carry out our work within the public arena with compassion, justice and concern for the common good. WE BELIEVE that Jesus’ death, burial and resurrection secured abundant and eternal life for all who believe and that Christ transforms all that we say and do. Therefore, we are convinced that Grand Canyon University should positively impact those who study at, work for and live near the university in ways that accord with the teachings of Jesus Christ. WE BELIEVE that mankind was originally created in the image of God and given responsibility over creation, but that all have failed to fulfill their God-given purpose and responsibility. We believe that God redeems and restores men and women in Christ, creating them anew for the good works He has prepared them to do. Therefore, we are confident that the work we do is a part of God’s calling on our lives and a means by which we can glorify God as we meet others’ needs. WE BELIEVE that regeneration by the Holy Spirit is essential for salvation and that the work of God’s Spirit in the human heart invariably results in renewed purpose and the growth of Christ-like love for neighbors and neighborhoods. Therefore, we are certain that God is working to restore the broken lives and communities of this fallen world through the collective gifts, talents, skills and resources of those who have been transformed by the power of the gospel. WE BELIEVE that salvation comes through Jesus Christ alone and involves redemption of the whole person. Therefore, we are convinced that the Christian life must involve compassion and care, not only for the spiritual needs of mankind, but also for basic physical needs that stem from poverty, oppression and injustice. WE BELIEVE in the spiritual unity of all believers in Christ and that evangelism and societal engagement are duties of the Christian life. Therefore, we are devoted to demonstrating the love of Jesus together as we share the gospel message and shape society according to the principles of His Kingdom. WE BELIEVE that the gospel message denounces evil and injustice while offering hope for reconciliation to Christ and the restoration of human culture and society through Him. Therefore, we recognize and embrace the potential of human work for furthering the greater good and strive to further the good of the culture and the society through education and the embodiment of biblical principles related to goodness and justice. 1

Background
Students will select and justify a sustainable development goal and also provide an outline covering concepts related to creating a requirements document for planning and designing a mobile application that will address the goal.
Part 1 – Choosing a Sustainable Development Goal
One of the key principles of the Colangelo College of Business is that business is a force for good to improve society and help communities prosper. For this assignment, consider the GCU's "Statement on the Integration of Faith and Work" and the tenets of servant leadership, conscious capitalism, and the sustainable development goals described in "SDG Tracker: Measuring Progress Towards the Sustainable Development Goals," both located in the topic Resources. Also view the video "Social Responsibility and Conscious Capitalism," located in the topic Resources.
Using an approved generative AI tool, conduct research to learn about the various initiatives listed below. Continue to narrow your options until you select one sustainable development goal from the list provided below that you would like to promote.
In 200-250 words, summarize your selected sustainable development goal and address why this issue is important.
1. End poverty in all its forms everywhere.
2. End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition, and promote sustainable agriculture.
3. Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages.
4. Ensure inclusive and quality education for all and promote lifelong learning.
5. Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls.
6. Ensure access to water and sanitation for all.
7. Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern energy for all.
8. Promote inclusive and sustainable economic growth, employment, and decent work for all.
9. Build resilient infrastructure, promote sustainable industrialization, and foster innovation.
10. Reduce inequality within and among countries.
11. Make cities inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable.
12. Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns.
13. Take urgent action to combat climate change and its effects.
14. Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas, and marine resources.
15. Sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, halt and reverse land degradation, and halt biodiversity loss.
16. Promote just, peaceful, and inclusive societies.
17. Revitalize the global partnership for sustainable development.
Part 2 – Mobile App Requirements Outline
Review "How to Build a Mobile App Requirements Document" and "How to Write a Mobile App Requirements Document (+ Free Template Download)," both located in the Topic 4 Resources, about the process of designing a mobile app. Using the attached "Sustainable Development Goal and Mobile App Requirements Outline Template" for guidance, create a 2-3-page outline that explains each of the following concepts. Use additional research sources as needed.
(4200) How to Build a Mobile App Requirements Document - YouTube
1. Business requirements, including mobile app objectives and product vision statement.
2. Target audience and user journey.
3. List of features.
4. Monetization model.
5. Product and technical specification.
6. Platforms for which the app is being developed.
7. Maintenance and upgrade requirements.
8. Dependencies, assumptions, constraints, and submission.
9. Explanation of how the mobile app can be used to drive business results and create a competitive advantage for the organization. Include a discussion of how and why this business app is a better solution than a competitor's app or website by comparing your app to theirs (for example, "Uber" or "Lyft" if designing a ride-share app).
10. How the tenets of servant leadership can be applied to the project. Review in detail the "Statement on the Integration of Faith and Work," located in the Topic 4 Resources. Statement-IFLW.pdf (gcu.edu) Discuss and apply at least two of the "WE BELIEVE" statements in that resource that applies to your app.
11. How conscious capitalism can be applied to the project. Review "Conscious Capitalism at GCU," located in the Topic 6 Resources.( Conscious Capitalism at Grand Canyon University | GCU) Discuss the importance of business being a force for good to improve society and help communities prosper.
