KEYNOTE SPEAKER
With Tania Hassounia
In 2010, while finishing her Visual Communication degree at age 40, Tania clearly heard the Lord instruct her to start working for herself. That simple step of obedience soon became a greater invitation: to partner with Him in business—and the freedom to “Go anywhere in the world you want to go, because I know it’s a desire of your heart.”
Wherever she went, His instruction remained the same—serve His people in business and ministry by freely offering half her working week in creative service. If she would do this, He promised He would keep her in paying clients.
That “yes” marked the beginning of a purposeful journey—learning how to walk as a Kingdom-driven entrepreneur. In 2019, the Lord led her to return home and begin building the business side of what she had been faithfully doing, this time with a clearer focus on encouraging others. That next step of obedience led to the creation of Faith&Biz NZ.
Tania will share how God leads and equips us—even when we don’t know what we’re stepping into. Her story shows that God doesn’t call the qualified; He qualifies the called, encouraging you to trust His guidance in your business journey.
GET INSPIRED!
With Kelly Gyde
In 2006, God showed Kelly a vision of many children in our nation, hiding in caves. In the vision, He revealed, sovereignly, a remarkable and simple new way of learning that would set these children free from isolation and failure. He went on to show her that these children are the very ones that He has chosen to solve many of society's most challenging problems, but they have been failing in an education system that does not understand how uniquely talented and gifted they are.
Kelly will be sharing her story of how God called her and healed her as she co-laboured with Him to invent an entirely new way for children to learn to read and spell.
Kelly will share how she went from striving and burn-out, to learning to work from a place of rest in God and she is excited to share a prophetic message for those who are attending the Faith&Biz conference.
GET EQUIPPED!
With Tracey Olivier
Tracey Olivier is a leadership coach, consultant, and speaker dedicated to equipping leaders with wisdom, clarity, and purpose. Based in the Waikato, she partners with leadership teams in medium-sized businesses, helping them build healthy organisations using biblical principles and Patrick Lencioni’s organisational health model.
With an MBA and a deep passion for leadership development, Tracey challenges leaders to think differently, fostering unity, vision, and lasting impact. She believes strong leadership creates just and flourishing communities, aligning with Kingdom principles.
Beyond her work, Tracey loves reading, sewing, crocheting, and spending time with her family, embracing her role as a grandmother. She is committed to inspiring leaders to serve with integrity and lead with faith.
Tracey will be speaking about Answering the Call to Business: Mission field or Minefield
GET GOD’S ENCOURAGEMENT!
With Peter Lawry
What does it truly mean to run a God-centric, God-honouring business?
Peter Lawry has spent decades helping Christian business owners navigate faith and entrepreneurship, offering practical tools and Kingdom wisdom. With leadership experience across 14 industries and a prophetic ministry, he brings a wealth of insight to those seeking to align their work with their calling.
Previously a top business consultant, Peter felt called in 2020 to serve Christian entrepreneurs exclusively. Now, he speaks at events, operates a prophetic business consultancy, mentors business leaders, and publishes resources, including his book When Jesus Calls, which shares real-life stories of business transformation.
Peter will challenge us to see God as our CEO and our ventures as Kingdom businesses, while sharing insights from his own journey.

I was inspired by Kelly who not only saw through her vision the problem, but then allowed God to lead her to create the solution.
