2025 Sharpeners Jam
Bonika Mission Statement and Logo
Â
Our Mission
Glorifying Christ is our first priority. Our second is treating our business associates the way we would want to be treated.
The Bonika Fish Logo
Our fish logo was chosen with purpose. First, the fish predates even the cross as a symbol of Christianity, and it serves as a constant reminder of our mission to honor Christ in all we do.
Second, the fish is a universal symbol of prosperity and adaptability—able to thrive across borders and cultures. That reflects our heart: to equip people everywhere with the skills to succeed, whether it’s “Teach a person to cut hair” or “Teach a person to sharpen.”
The "B" inside the fish stands for Bonika Shears, a name rooted in purpose and excellence.
