BUSINESS CIRCLE EVENT - DURBAN, KZN

Join us on Friday, 10 May 2024 at The Riverside Hotel, in Durban North, Kwazulu-Natal, from 8:30 for 9:00 – 11:30, and let’s grow in business for the Kingdom of God!
Our guest speaker is Sybil de Quintal, and her topic is "Hearing the voice of God!”
God speaks to us constantly, giving us all the information and guidance we need to be living in victory. It’s never the Lord who is not speaking, but it’s us who are not hearing.
Learning to clearly distinguish God’s voice, is invaluable. Instead of going through life and business blindly, we can have the wisdom of God to guide and protect us. But why do we have a hard time hearing His voice?
“My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. “
John 10: 27 NIV
God wants us, His sheep to hear His voice so that He can lead us and guide us. But how do we hear His voice, what is required of us to hear His voice and how do we discern the enemy's voice?
YOU ARE INVITED …Let’s have our lives, careers, and businesses transformed by hearing the voice of the Lord better as Kingdom women in business!

BUSINESS CIRCLE EVENT - PRETORIA, GAUTENG
Friday, 17 May 2024 | 8:30 - 11:30
Join us on Friday, 17 May 2024 at Blos Café in Faerie Glen, Pretoria, from 8:30 for 9:00 – 11:30, and let’s grow in business for the Kingdom of God!
Our guest speaker is Lusanda Dhlamini, and her topic is "OWN YOUR TIME – A Guide to Life Balance."
Sometimes we feel we should be doing certain things, or doing things in certain ways, but maybe it is not best or even possible in our current season or circumstances. Sometimes we feel we should be doing more ...
It's not about adding or doing more. It's about doing what matters in your current season.
In Ecclesiastes 3:1 we read "There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens".
BUT how do we design our days (life and work) to align with God’s will, to do what matters in our current season of life?
YOU ARE INVITED … Knowing our seasons and what matters sets realistic expectations! Let’s begin to walk on the path to God’s purpose in our season as Kingdom women in business!

We can all relate to experiencing times of goodness and times of disappointment. Sometimes we even experience times that are uneventful or dull. How do we steward our hearts through these ups and downs? We learnt from the pattern we see in the life of a Biblical woman called Mary.
Elize-Marie enjoys studying the word of God and growing in relationship with Jesus. She has written a book on our Identity in Jesus and it’s her passion to teach and equip fellow believers from God’s word in a way that helps them grow in their relationship with Jesus.

WESTERN CAPE - SOMERSET WEST
We met on 2 June 2023 with businesswomen in Somerset-West for breakfast and our topic was FISHING IN THE WORLD OF BUSINESS with guest speaker Margaux Gaigher.
Margaux's life purpose is “To Teach and Tutor to TOUCH lives, significantly”. Therefore, wherever she goes, whomever she meets, and whichever client she works with in her business, Uluma HR, she wants to touch lives to make a significant difference.
God calls us wherever we are. We just need to obey like Simon and the other disciples did as they pushed the boat further into the sea and let down the nets, and when they threw down their nets and followed Him!
The good news of Jesus Christ is to be shared in the marketplace and with all we meet. If we are to be fishers of men/women, we need to think in terms of growing business for the Kingdom of God.
WESTERN CAPE - PAARL
We had a morning of inspiration, encouragement,
connections, and growth on 3 March 2023!

PURPOSE BY ITSELF IS NOT ENOUGH!
In her own words, “Purpose needs work to succeed. On its own, it will remain a dream or a passion. While purpose will drive you, passion can drift you.”
