Planning, Partnering and Profit done God’s way.

Errol reopened the topics that we had begun on Friday, beginning with identifying the GIANTS that threaten local society. Soon we had a list of over 25 , then voted to determine the most dominant giants such as corruption, poverty, injustice, and lack of education.

 One of rep’s main aims is for repurposed businesses to transform society. In essence each business should target one or more of the GIANTS, relying on GOD’s power to work through them to begin the process of destroying the Giant. This is where faith in action can change a nation!

This picture shows the effects of a “giant” lurking along the river - Poverty.

The following shows a popular type of eaterie!

And how about Francois’ enjoyment of a well presented delicacy?

During a very busy day of training, Teju painlessly took us through the principles of PLANNING, then Errol dealt with PARTNERING. We watched a video clip of Team Hoyt, a very inspiring documentary which gives a whole new significance to the concept of partnering. No matter how many times I have watched this video it reduces me to tears. Not only me but others too, judging by Nathan’s offering tissues in advance!

One of the highlights of the weekend for me was seeing my clients from a previous rep venture. It was so good to share with each other again and to have the priviledge of praying together. Talking of prayer: please pray urgently for Dena to recover quickly from her laryngitis and fever, as she is knocked horizontal, and she is needed as our key intercessor at Tuesday’s Prayer and Visioning session.

We commit this important day expectantly to hearing from God as each business leader seeks His will.
