who is this event for?
Christian entrepreneurs, freelancers, and small business owners who are:
Doing business with God at the centre | Craving connection with like-minded founders | Ready to be refreshed, encouraged, and inspired
Because doing business as a Christian can feel isolating.
Because it’s easy to get caught in the doing and forget where God has placed us.
Because when we gather in faith and unity, God brings encouragement, clarity, and fresh vision.
