BUSINESS CIRCLE EVENT, DURBAN NORTH
FRIDAY, 6 JUNE 2025 | 9:00 - 12:00
Join us on Friday, 6 June 2025, at 118 on Fairway in Durban North, and let’s grow in life and business for the Kingdom of God!
Our guest speaker is Heidi Silcock, and her topic is "What is in Your Hands?"
So often we carry much - expectations, responsibilities, dreams, even disappointments. In this gentle and reflective session, we’ll pause and consider: What has God already placed in your hands? And just as importantly, what might He be asking you to lay down?
Exodus 4:2 (NIV) – “Then the Lord said to him, ‘What is that in your hand?’ ‘A staff,’ he replied.”
Through Scripture, stillness, and personal reflection, we’ll explore how to live open-handedly in obedience, trust, and purpose.
YOU ARE INVITED ... Come and be inspired to let go, lean in, and live with open hands!
Don't miss this opportunity for reflection, connection, and spiritual growth alongside fellow Christian businesswomen.

We met on Friday, 7 March 2025 at Gabriella’s Tea Room in Johannesburg, and our guest speaker ass Liesl Eksteen, and her topic “LAYING DOWN ARMS”.
What are the “unwritten, unspoken” things upon which your peace or security in 2025 depends?
“Letting go isn't always like a leaf dropping from a tree or a feather falling from a wing, but more like an angel being wrestled all night or a battle raging deep within.
Sometimes inside the task of letting go, there is a dying hope, once full of life and tightly held, finally released in peace.”
~ Susan Frybot ~
It was a small & intimate gathering and what a beautiful morning of surrender - laying down our arms and finding true peace!
Together, we loosened our clenched fists and raised a “white flag” to God’s terms of peace!
We shared hearts, grew in faith and strength, and uplifted one another as women, in life and business!
A heartfelt thank you to Liesl Eksteen for her powerful and practical message on finding peace, to Gabriella’s Tearoom for graciously hosting us, and to each incredible lady who joined us. Your presence made this gathering truly special!

Authority is necessary. It’s supernatural. It’s divine order.
“Let every soul be subject to the higher powers. For there is no power but from God: the powers that are, are ordained by God.”

Whatever the circumstances of our lives, careers, or business, or the decisions made in the government or earthly rule, God is firmly and eternally in control. He uses each one to forward His perfect purpose and plan, to hone and strengthen our faith, and to draw us into closer fellowship with and dependence on Him.
There is no strength but that given by God, in whom life and strength are eternal. He is our only Source!
We are godly women who speak the Word, obey it, live it, and sing it with all our hearts, for the glory of Christ our Lord!

PRETORIA, GAUTENG
Our CWIB Business Circle event hosted on 23 August in Pretoria was a powerful gathering of business owners and career women from all industries and walks of life!
Thank you to all who joined us for an insightful business talk by our guest speaker Pinky Naicker with her topic “The Value of Reading” as entrepreneurs and leaders, encouraging conversations around the table, heartfelt moments, and powerful connections made!
We’ve heard it said that Leaders are Readers, and many of us embrace the exchange that being learned offers to our street-level theology and experience of life.
But as the days mount up and the demands/responsibilities of life add up, it can be quite difficult to prioritise the delights and benefits of devoting ourselves to the age-old wisdom of silence and solitude, to bury our hearts (and heads) in the written word—especially for insight and treasures that will affect our careers and businesses.
The conversation demystified the myth that not everyone is a reader like that and offered some practical insights from God’s word on how devoting ourselves to study can be exactly what we need to change the world.
Pinky truly ignited a passion for reading within us, highlighting the immense value and importance of being avid readers as businesswomen. Her insights reminded us that knowledge is power, and a well-read woman is unstoppable.
Let's continue to fuel our growth and success through the power of books!
Let’s not forget that the Word of God is the most amazing book ever written, filled with unmatched wisdom and guidance.
Let's continue to seek its timeless truths and apply them to our lives and in business every day.
Thank you to every woman who attended and to Blos Cafe for a beautiful venue!

PRETORIA, GAUTENG
We had an enouraging and impactful morning on Friday, 17 May 2024 at Blos Café in Faerie Glen, Pretoria. Our guest speaker was Lusanda Dhlamini, and her topic was "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?
Lusanda gave a talk on “Own your time” and how to steward our time wisely and that no season is ever wasted! We have to know our current season, do the right things in our current season and do it in God’s time!
The HELPER - HOLY SPIRIT is available to help us to identify what is right for each one of us!

We gathered together for the second breakfast event on Friday, 10 May 2024 at The Riverside Hotel, in Durban North, Kwazulu-Natal!
Our guest speaker Sybil de Quintal, shared a powerful message and nuggets on "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?

In 2 Corinthians 5:7, we read “For we walk by faith, not by sight.” But what does it mean to navigate your life, career, and your business on your truth in God and your belief in the unseen? What does it mean to walk by faith and not by sight?
Uraisha shared her journey of the last couple of months and what it means to keep moving, even if you don’t know where you are going! Trusting God for guidance, providence, and strength in challenging times!
Our founder, Cerita Nagy, shared more about CWIB, her journey, and God's goodness and faithfulness over the past 7 years.
We are grateful and blessed for this monumental and glorious day in KZN!

We met on Friday, 9 February at Blos Cafe in Pretoria East, and our guest speaker was LAETITIA KAE and her topic "YOUR SUCCESS OR GOD'S SUCCESS?"
In her own words, "It's easy to lose sight of the joy inherent in honing our craft amidst the relentless pressures imposed by the world. Together, we will explore the concept of success through a divine lens and unravel what God deems as true success in our businesses. By aligning our pursuits with a higher purpose, we can rediscover the fulfillment and purpose in our professional endeavors, transcending the external expectations that often cloud our vision. Join me as we embark on a journey to redefine success and uncover the divine perspective that can guide us toward a more meaningful and purpose-driven approach to our work."

We met on Friday, 24 November. The guest speaker was Elize-Marie Müller. Her topic – Stewarding our Hearts through Different Seasons!
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.

How does God Prepare Us? What makes a woman strong?

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!
Our guest speaker was Lizl Naude and her topic
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.”
